PANAMA CITY President Obama and Cuban President Raúl Castro
had a much-anticipated handshake at the Summit of the Americas
Friday, another historic step toward defrosting the five-decade-
old thaw between the two countries.
The handshake happened as the two leaders arrived at a Panama
City convention center for the summit's opening ceremonies,
mostly away from most journalists' view. But a reporter for a
Venezuelan TV network posted video online showing the two
greeting each other comfortably with multiple handshakes and
small talk, while U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Cuban
Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez looked on.
The handshake was the latest of a series of clear steps the past
few days signaling the two countries are continuing on their
path toward normalizing relations, including opening embassies
in both countries.
The White House said the interaction was informal and said they
didn't engage in substantive conversation. The two men are
expected to meet for substantial talks Saturday, just days after
the pair spoke by phone to pave the way for more meaningful
discourse here. "We don't have a formal meeting scheduled at a
certain time, but we anticipate they will have a discussion
tomorrow," Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes said
Friday.

In other words, Obama sucked Castro's cock.
