Barack Obama lands in Cuba as first US president
March 21, 2016
One of the last vestiges of the Cold War was buried this afternoon, when President Obama set foot in Cuba. He's the first American president to visit the island since Calvin Coolidge, 88 years ago.
"Que bola', Cuba?" Obama tweeted in an informal greeting, moments after Air Force One touched down at Havana's Jose Marti Airport. "Looking forward to meeting and hearing directly from the Cuban people."
