U.S. delegation says Cuba wants better relations (Reuters)




HAVANA (Reuters) - Members of the U.S. Congress who held a lengthy meeting with Cuban President Raul Castro, said on Tuesday they were convinced he wants to end 50 years of hostility between the two countries.

U.S. Representative Barbara Lee, leader of the delegation, said the six Democrats would return to Washington after the 4 1/2-hour meeting on Monday night with a simple message: "It's time to talk to Cuba. The moment is now."
