Obama to End Cuba Trip on Topic of Agreement: Baseball

For much of the president’s two-day trip to Cuba, the disagreements between the U.S. and Cuba have been on full display.

But before closing out his trip to the island nation this afternoon, President Obama will put his focus on a topic that the two nations agree on: a love of baseball.

The Tampa Bay Rays are set to face off against the Cuban National Team today in the first Major League Baseball exhibition game in Cuba in nearly 20 years.

President Obama is scheduled to attend the game along with his family.

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is calling on the president to end his trip to Cuba and return home to the United States or travel to Belgium’s capital in the wake of the attacks in Brussels.

“President Obama should be back in America keeping this country safe. Or president Obama should be planning to travel to Brussels," Cruz said today at a news conference on Capitol Hill.

Three explosions hit the city’s international airport this morning and a subway station in what the Belgian federal prosecutor classified as terror attacks that left dozens dead, with three Americans among the nearly 200 injured.
