The bill has not yet been signed, but US President Barack Obama is giving his support to a government funding package that earmarks a significant change in relations between the US and Cuba. The bill will ease restrictions on travel and trade, allowing Cuban-Americans to spend longer than two weeks at a time on the island and to visit once a year rather than every three years. (Ed. note: stories in US media do not make it clear if the bill will ease travel restrictions for other Americans.) Sky News
