The head of US Interest Section, Jeffrey DeLaurentis (L), gives Cuban Foreign Vice-Minister Marcelino Medina a letter from US President Barack Obama to Cuban President Raul Castro, during a meeting at Foreign Ministry in Havana on July 1, 2015. Obama is expected to unveil today a breakthrough deal with Cuba to reopen embassies in Washington and Havana, officials said, in a major step toward ending decades of Cold war enmity. Castro and Obama agreed in December to start formal talks over restoring relations, after months of secret talks between aides. Diplomatic ties have been frozen since 1961. AFP PHOTO / ADALBERTO ROQUE
