NEW YORK (AP) — President Barack Obama will hold a formal meeting Tuesday with Cuban President Raul Castro.
The meeting comes on the sidelines of the annual United Nations General Assembly, a massive gathering of world leaders in New York. It marks the second face-to-face meeting between Obama and Castro since the U.S. and Cuba restored diplomatic relations late last year.
Obama and Castro also convened a rare phone call earlier this month ahead of Pope Francis’ visit to both their countries.
