We know that this moment fills Cubans in  Cuba and in the United States with powerful emotions, recalling  the countless ways in which Fidel Castro altered the course of  individual lives, families, and of the Cuban nation. History will record  and judge the enormous impact of this singular figure on the people  and world around him  For nearly six decades, the relationship between the United States  and Cuba was marked by discord and profound political  disagreements. During my presidency, we have worked hard to put  the past behind us, pursuing a future in which the relationship  between our two countries is defined not by our differences but by  the many things that we share as neighbors and friends bonds of  family, culture, commerce, and common humanity. This engagement  includes the contributions of Cuban Americans, who have done so  much for our country and who care deeply about their loved ones in  Cuba  Today, we offer condolences to Fidel Castro's family, and our  thoughts and prayers are with the Cuban people. In the days ahead  they will recall the past and also look to the future.
