The Obama administration
approved the first U.S. factory to be built and operated in Cuba in
more than 50 years, in the latest sign of the rapidly changing
relationship between the United States and the communist nation.
Cleber LLC,
an Alabama-based company that builds tractors for small farms, was
notified by the Treasury Department that it could open a facility in
Cuba. Co-founder Saul Berenthal said the company's attorney was in
Havana on Monday to start the lengthy process of finalizing the
agreement with the Cuban government and hopes to start production by
early 2017.
Berenthal said he was proud to get the approval, but it means even more for the future relationship between the Cold War foes.
"Being
first is great," he said. "But for certain, we should not be the only
ones. We're hoping and expecting many more will follow."
A U.S. business operating in Cuba is possible because of sweeping changes made by President Obama
since his Dec. 17, 2014, announcement that the long-time enemies would
re-establish diplomatic relations. Since then, embassies have reopened
in Washington and Havana, and diplomats and business people have flooded
Cuba.
Starting Tuesday, U.S. airlines can begin applying for more air routes to the Caribbean destination.

"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
