Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez speaks during a ceremony to reopen the Cuban embassy in Washington, Monday, July 20, 2015. The United States and Cuba severed diplomatic relations in 1961 and since the 1970s had been represented in each other’s capitals by limited service interests sections. Their conversion to embassies tolled a knell for policy approaches spawned and hardened over the five decades since President John F. Kennedy first tangled with youthful revolutionary Fidel Castro over Soviet expansion in the Americas. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, Pool)
