first lady, daughters sasha, malia and their grandmother, former minister bruno rodriguez. despite the flowers and the greetings, it was noticeably low key compared to the pope's airport arrival just 6 month ago at which raul castro received the pontiff. then there was pomp, but the circumstances surrounding this tripipare much different. the 2.5 day presidential swing still ununmfortable political divisions. not the prayerful reflections of a pope. with the wave and smile, the presidential limo adorned with cuban flags left. the first step the rousing welcome from the u.s. embassy employees and their families. the president's designated ambassador introduced him, invoking his campaign slogan, yes we kto drive home the historic change even if those >> like cuban relations like other things tackled in his presidency, he can say, we can now say, yes we did. >> reporter: president obama began his remarks with the history of the light hearted moment 9 decades in the making. >> in 1928 president coolidge came on a battleship. it took him 3 days to get here. it only took me 3 hou

and just four days ago, at the press conference held by our foreign minister bruno rodriguez parea, which was widely disseminated by the press. in addition, other policies should be suppressed so that there can be normal relations between cuba and the united states. one should not seek to that end that the cuban people renounce the disaidge destination that te freely and sovereignly chosen and for which they have made immense sacrifices. we also exchanged views on international issues, in particular those that could affect regional peace and stability. in particular, it was planned and there was not time to conclude it, that we take up our concern regarding the situation of destabilization that is sought to be fostered in venezuela, which is counterproductive for the environment in the hemisphere. but i do note it on this occasion. in addition, we engaged in engan dialogue on the peace process in colombia in efforts to bring an end to this conflict. there are profound differences between our countries that are not going to disappear. for we have different views, different way of thinking

and, again, only four days ago, in the press conference offered by bruno rodriguez, both pieces offered by the media. all policies should also be abolished for normal relations to develop between the united states and cuba. no one shoulds inte have the cu people release the sovereignty for which they have made enormous sacrifices. we also discussed international issues, particularly those that could have an impact on regional peace and stability. s we had thought to discuss other issues, but we didn't have time. i had thought to raise our concern over the destabilization someone tried to promote in venezuela, something which we considered to be counterproductive to the overall situation in the continent. i did not have the chance to raise it with him. i'm raising it here. likewise, we talked about the ongoing peace process in columbia and the efforts to put an end to that conflict. there are profound differences between our countries that will not go away. since we hold different concepts on many subjects such as political systems, democracy, the exercise of human rights, social justice

ter they landed, the first family was greeted by several dignitaries including foreign minister bruno rodriguez and they were given flowers. three members of the senana. now soon after landing the president and first lady made their way near the u.s. embassy and eventually met withstaff members at a hotel. >> i'm glad you had a chance to bring your families here because i picturur with kids. that's the future that we hoped for, young american children, young cuban children by the time they are adults, our hope is we think it is natural and a u.s. president should be visiting cuba. >> the first family did not let the rainy conditions get in the way of their tour. they toured the city right before going to the hotel. during the tour the president got to see a portrait of abrahamam lincoln that was put up just for him. the president will lay a wreath at the ceremony at the jose martin memorial. soon after the two president wills give joint statements. this afternoon he has an entrepreneurship event focusing on the private sector businesses and tonight the president will attend a state dinner. watc

you had bruno rodriguez, the foreign minister, greet the president at the airport. that said, mr.d greeted other visitors before. there is a disparity, if you will, between the scale of the united states and the scale of cuba. so what i thought this signaled to me is the cuban government was trying to slightly, i don't know if the word is downplay, but keep all this under control. and that's a reminder that they're uneasy. one of the things we want to do is change cuba. we want to see political and economic change come to that country. obviously, the regime wants to keep the lid on all that. so my hunch is by not showing up at the airport, it was a way of trying not to lose control and trying not to make this visit seem bigger than it was at home. the president, for his part, when he speaks to the cuban people, has to somehow signal that change needs to come to cuba. that's the tension between the two sides. the way dissidents are being treated is a reminder that even though this is a step towards one another, the two governments remain quite far apart. >> most of the criticism ab

on thursday, cuban foreign minister bruno rodriguez said cuba would remove a 10% tax on u.s. cash dollars as soon as it verifies that the united states has lifted currency restrictions against cuba. seaworld has announced it will stop reading killer whales nearly three years after the , documentary "blackface" sparked intense criticism of seaworld's treatment of the animals and their trainers. since the documentary aired, seaworld has faced increasing pressure from animal rights activists, including peta, people for the ethical treatment of animals, to end the killer whale breeding program. seaworld's announcement comes only weeks after the theme park operator has acknowledged that it sent an employee to pose as an animal rights activist to infiltrate peta. according to peta, seaworld employee paul mccomb took part in numerous peta protests against seaworld while undercover and repeatedly used social media in an effort to incite other activists, stating that it's time to "grab pitchforks and torches" and time to "burn seaworld to the ground." and in france, as many as 150,000

now they're coming up on bruno rodriguez, the foreign minister, and the cuban officials.h him this economic delegation, he wants deals to be done. he wants hundreds of thousands of people to start coming, americans to start coming here. so that it is permanent, part of a legacy. it can't be reversed by an incoming republican administration. and certainly by the congress that has refused to lift the embargo. that said, raul castro will say, what about the embargo, what they call the blockade? whey can't you do something about that? each side wants smnts from the other, and the president will argue about human rights. only yesterday, there was a very difficult demonstration here. it's a weekly demonstration by the ladies in white who silently protest after church, and instead of there are protests and some detentions and arrests, but yesterday was particularly bad. there were the american media there from around the world recording it. that was a deliberate signal that cuba is not going to be pushed on free speech. so how much can be accomplished? president obama has alread
