Jimmy Carter tried, and failed to reestablish a US Embassy in Havana Cuba. So who better than Jimmy Carter 2.00 (Obama) to finish what Carter failed at. Obama is ready to get a US Embassy going in Havana, and as usual isn’t going through Congress to get it approved.

This week, as part of the détente between the nations, the Obama administration is sending the highest-ranking delegation of American officials to the island in nearly 40 years to restart diplomatic relations and set the stage to reopen the interests sections as embassies in the coming months.
POTUS-Carter[…] There were occasional spy arrests and prisoner exchanges over the years, he said, but President Jimmy Carter sought a thaw in relations and reached an agreement with the Cubans to open the interests sections, technically under the auspices of the Swiss Embassy.
Efforts to fully re-establish embassies stalled because of Cuba’s role in the Angola war and its insistence that the trade embargo be lifted unconditionally.
