Obama, Castro speak publicly on historic trip

US President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro are welcoming the historic change in the relationship between their nations, at a press conference during Mr. Obama's visit to Havana.

However, both leaders called on the other to make changes, with President Castro requesting the closure of Guantanamo Bay prison, and President Obama saying Cuba needs to improve its human rights record.

The ongoing trade embargo also topped the agenda. Both leaders agreed progress is stalled until the blockade is lifted, but Mr. Obama says it's up to the US Congress make that happen- and they likely won't get it done until a new president is in office.

US President Barack Obama said it's a new day.
