President Barack 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. Cuban President Raul 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.
