PRZEŁOM W RELACJACH AMERYKAŃSKO-KUBAŃSKICH
THE TURNING POINT OF THE U.S.- CUBAN RELATIONS

Summary/Abstract: The political and economic relations between the United States and Cuba have been “frozen” for over 50 years. Only in December 2014 the diplomatic relations between those two states were restored. It was one of the rare achievements of the foreign policy of the president Barack Obama, who in March 2015 paid an official visit in Havana. That visit has brought about in practice the end of Cuba's isolation, but has not led to the full normalization of the political and economic relations. The trade embargo was laid on Cuba by the United States in 1962 and can be eliminated (removed) only by the Congress when the Cuban government will meet the requirements of the Helms-Burton law. They include financial compensation for the nationalized property of the American companies and significant change in the existing political and economic system.
