President Barack Obama has arrived in Cuba for a historic visit to the island and talks with its communist leader marking the first sitting US president to visit since the 1959 revolution, which heralded decades of hostility.
Obama landed at Havana’s Jose Marti International Airport aboard Air Force One, the presidential jet with “United States of America” emblazoned across its fuselage, a sight almost unimaginable not long ago.
Speaking at the reopened US embassy in Havana, he called the visit “historic”. He also spent time in the old city.
Obama will meet President Raul Castro, but not retired revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, and the pair will discuss trade and political reform.
