FILE - In this March 22, 2013 file photo, miniature flags representing Cuba and the U.S. are displayed on the dash of a classic American car in Havana, Cuba. After decades of U.S. efforts to foment democracy by backing Cuba's dissidents and their demands for swift political change, President Barack Obama's trip in March 2016 will showcase a 180-degree turn in U.S. policy toward the island. The U.S. is wagering that re-forging links between the U.S. and Cuba will do more to change Cuba&#8217;s single-party government and centrally planned economy than a half-century of confrontation.
