US and Cuba Restoring Relations
美巴关系恢复
After months of negotiations between President Obama and President Castro, the US and Cuba have agreed to restore diplomatic relations. The deal, which involved a controversial transfer of prisoners, was organized through a series of secret meetings with American and Cuban officials in Canada. While the negotiations were in progress, the US reportedly helped one Cuban prisoner impregnate his wife via artificial insemination. The prisoner has since been united with his pregnant wife who is due to deliver their daughter in two weeks. The negotiations were the first diplomatic relations between the US and Cuba in 50 years. The trade embargo and ban on tourist travel will remain in place for now, but both leaders have stated that the prisoner exchange was an important first step in restoring diplomatic relations.
总统奥巴马和卡斯特罗经过了数月谈判之后，美巴同意恢复外交关系。美巴官员在加拿大举行了一系列秘密会议来达成这一协议，协议包括备受争议的转交罪犯。在谈判进行之时，有报道称美国通过人工受精让一名古巴罪犯的妻子怀孕。自此之后，这名罪犯准许在妻子将要生下女儿的两周内与妻子重逢。这一谈判也是美巴在50年内首次建立外交关系。贸易禁运和禁止旅游的规定将暂时继续，但是两国领导人都表示转交罪犯是恢复双边关系的重要一步。
