US President Barack President Obama arrives in Cuba on historic visit Sunday March 20,2016

 Air Force One arrives into the Cuban capital Havana


U.S. President Barack Obama, accompanied by first lady Michelle Obama and their daughters Malia and Sasha, arrives at the Jose Marti international airport in Havana, Cuba March 20, 2016


The Obamas arrive at Havana's international airport for a three-day trip, in Havana March 20, 2016.
As Air Force One touched down in Havana, the US president cheerfully began the landmark trip by tweeting in local slang: “Que bola Cuba?” -- or “What’s up?”

Obama, his wife Michelle and their two daughters Sasha and Malia clutched umbrellas to shield themselves from drizzle as they descended the steps to the tarmac.

On a 3-day landmark visit -- the first by a sitting US president in almost 90 years -- Obama will likely help change the image of the United States that several generations of Cubans have had since 1959.
