WASHINGTON: -- Cuba and the United States have reached an agreement to re-establish direct postal service between both countries after more than 5 decades. A pilot program is expected to start soon.

The Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C. said in a statement on Friday that representatives from both countries held a new round of talks on Thursday to discuss the re-establishment of direct postal services.

“Both delegations agreed to re-establish direct postal service between the two countries through the implementation of a Pilot Plan for the transportation of mail which will become effective within the next few weeks, with the hope of eventually institutionalizing it on a permanent basis in the future,” the statement said.

I see this as a devious plot by the Administration to drive Cuba into bankruptcy.

Obama is probably hoping they will follow the financial plans of the US Postal Service.
