U.S. State Department Eases Trump-Era Restrictions on Cuba
----------------------------------------------------------

The Biden administration is easing Trump-era restrictions on travel
between the United States and Cuba. The State Department said Monday it
will reinstate the Cuba Family Reunification Parole program, expanding
visa processing and making it easier for families to visit relatives in
Cuba. The administration is also lifting a $1,000 cap on remittances
family members can send to relatives in Cuba. The new measures fall
short of U.S.-Cuba rapprochement seen under former President Obama.
