They feared the State Department would be unable to implement a new international vision. Even though many felt as such, Kennedy was determined to control foreign policy through a young energetic staffer who was capable of making their own informal…

Being the head of the state, you’re mostly in control of every action that the government has to undertake and if you do it wrong you would most likely to be blamed by the whole population and you would no longer have the support of people.

the scar tissue of the war continues to make news. In Panama, on the 11th of April 2015, President Obama and President Castro marked the first meeting between the pair by shaking each other’s hand. This was the first time since 1961 that a U.S. and Cuban head of state had come together.
