#cubapolicy

Today, @USDOT and @StateDept announced direct commercial flights to #Cuba, which @DHSgov will streamline.

On January 4, 1961, U.S. Marines Jim Tracy, F.W. Mike East, and Cpl. Larry C. Morris assigned to U.S. Embassy Havana lowered the American flag outside the embassy for the last time. For 54 years, the soldiers’ warm affection for the Cuban people never wavered. And neither did their belief that, one day, they would reunite to raise the flag again. On August 14, 2015, these three U.S. Marines reunite and join Secretary of State John Kerry to re-open the U.S. Embassy in Havana, Cuba. Watch this video as they reflect on the past and look towards the future. #USCuba

Join the State Department’s Bureau of Consular Affairs for a Twitter Q&A on @TravelGov on the rules for U.S. citizens seeking to travel to Cuba under the President’s new policies on Thursday, June 25 at 3:00 p.m. ET. You can submit questions on Twitter now using #AskTravelGov. go.usa.gov/3vDQG
