Cubans Face New Reality As Ties With U.S. Renewed After Years Under Strict Embargo

HAVANA, CUBA - JANUARY 25: Children spend their Sunday afternoon playing on a stack of water pipes that will be used for a municipal project January 25, 2015 in Havana, Cuba. The United States hopes that last week's diplomatic talks with the Cuban government will open doors to American building products and help elevate supply and bring down the cost of construction and repair on the island nation. Diplomats from the United States and Cuba held historic talks this week that could restore diplomatic ties and mark the end of more than 50 years of of Cold War-era hostility between the two countries.
