President Obama to meet with Cuban leader Raul Castro
President Obama and Cuban leader Raul Castro are expected to have a "discussion" at the Summit of the Americas on Saturday, the White House said Friday.
In a press briefing in Panama City, Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes said they "anticipate they will have a discussion tomorrow.” There is currently no bilateral meeting on the schedule, but the White House did not rule out a formal meeting between the two leaders.
A historic meeting between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Cuban foreign minister Bruno Rodriguez in Panama Thursday night brought the highest level talks between the two estranged countries since the Cuban revolution.

Absolutely historic, and way overdue for America and Cuba.
Well done, Mr. President!
