Obama Attends Baseball Game in Cuba; Kerry Holds Historic Meeting with FARC Rebels

HeadlineMar 23, 2016

Obama attended a baseball game between the Tampa Bay Rays and a Cuban team in Havana Tuesday with Cuban President Raúl Castro. Also present at the game were members of Colombia’s FARC rebel group, including leader Rodrigo Londoño. On Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry held an unprecedented meeting with FARC leaders in Havana. The FARC and Colombian government are said to be nearing an agreement after three years of talks to end the five-decade-long conflict. Obama has now arrived in Argentina, where he will seek to renew ties with the country under its new pro-corporate, right-wing President Mauricio Macri.
