Barack Obama: Cuba "will change" but not immediately


Just before leaving for two weeks of vacation in Hawaii, US President held its year-end press conference at the White House. The opportunity to return to the historic thaw began Wednesday with Cuba. Barack Obama has long advocated this unexpected reconciliation, "it is still a regime that suppresses its people and as I said when I made the announcement, I do not plan to change overnight. What I am absolutely convinced, is that when you have done the same thing for 50 years and nothing changes, we need to try something else. "


Another sensitive issue at the heart of his speech, racial tensions in the United States revived by several recent cases in which unarmed blacks were killed by white police officers including Ferguson and New York.


"These are not new phenomena. The fact is they are now clearly visible, partly because people are able to shoot while before we talked about it around the table in the kitchen, so it was said that some were making their own conclusions and assessments. But it is clear that we can not solve a problem if we do not mention. "


Two years from the end of his second term, Obama will face on January 6 new Republican majority in Congress in both houses of stroke at the White House in 2016.
