Obama eases Cuba travel restrictions Washington January 16, 2011 US President Barack Obama will ease travel restrictions to Cuba, allowing educational and church groups greater freedom to visit the communist country. The plans announced today will allow higher education institutions to sponsor travel to Cuba for course work. American citizens will also be allowed to send as much as $US500 every three months to Cuban citizens who aren't part of the Castro administration or members of the Communist Party. The new travel policy, which won't end the US trade embargo that has been in place since 1962, will lift restrictions put in place by President George W. Bush and are similar to rules under President Bill Clinton. Mr Obama loosened travel rules on Cuba in 2009, making it easier for Cuban-Americans to visit and send money to relatives.
