President Obama will announce Wednesday that the U.S. and Cuba have reached an agreement to open embassies in Havana and Washington, an administration official confirmed to Fox News.
The announcement marks a major step in ending hostilities between the longtime foes and an opportunity to re-establish formal diplomatic relations.
The U.S. and Cuba have been negotiating the reestablishment of embassies in each other’s capitals following the Dec. 17 announcement that they would move to restore ties.
The White House announced late Tuesday that Obama would deliver a statement, presumably the formal announcement, in the Rose Garden at 11am Wednesday.
