HAVANA- President Obama arrived in Cuba Sunday evening with his family.

The President and Cuban President Raul Castro will sit down at Havana's Palace of the Revolution today.

Among the topics expected to be discussed, potential trade and business opportunities between the U.S. and Cuba.

President Obama is also expected to take on the issue of human rights, before meeting with political dissidents here in a still oppressed society.

Their historic meeting will offer critical clues about whether Obama's sharp U-turn in policy will be fully reciprocated.

Obama is the first president to visit Cuba in nearly 90 years. The visit comes just 15 months after the announcement that the U.S. and Cuba would be restoring diplomatic ties.
