From my vantage point as a US foreign-policy expert, the only bright spot in recent months has been Obama’s normalization of diplomatic relations with Cuba. Finally, America has an opportunity to launch a new beginning, not only with Cuba but also with the Caribbean and Latin American countries that have pressed us hard and often to change our stance.
从一名美国外交政策专家的角度，近几个月美国唯一的亮点就是奥巴马与古巴实现外交关系正常化。最后，美国现在可以走向新的开始，不仅与古巴，也与频繁对我们施以高压迫使我们改变立场的加勒比和拉美国家重新开始。事实上，此举将成为奥巴马最为重大的外交政策成就，其深远影响在几十年后还能感受到。
