The US president and Cuban leader Raul Castro are set to meet at Havana's Palace of the Revolution later on Monday amid the US-Cuban normalization process. The US leader arrived in the Cuban capital on Sunday, which became the first visit of a sitting US president to Cuba since Calvin Coolidge sailed into Havana aboard a US battleship in 1928.
"One of the things that we’ll be announcing here is that Google has a deal to start setting up more Wi-Fi and broadband access on the island and over time, if in fact, we start seeing access to the internet — which is necessary for Cuba to enter into the 21st century economically — invariably that gives the Cuban people more information and allows them to have more of a voice," Obama told the ABC News broadcaster.
Relations between Washington and Havana began to improve after Obama announced in December 2014 a historic thaw in US-Cuba ties, including the loosening of US restrictions on travel and trade.
