President Obama shook hands with his Cuban counterpart Raul Castro in a landmark moment for the two countries at Nelson Mandela's memorial service. As President Obama made his way onto the stage to pay tribute to Nelson Mandela - he extended his hand to Raul Castro - who shook it and smiled back. The handshake is a rare gesture between the leaders that reflects Nelson Mandela's spirit of reconciliation. The only previous known handshake between U.S. and Cuban presidents since the island's kuwait 1959 revolution was at the United Nations in 2000, when Raul's brother 2fa Fidel shook the hand of then-U.S. president Bill Clinton in a chance encounter.
