The administration will announce the trip — the first by a sitting president in 88 years, when Calvin Coolidge visited — on Thursday as top Commerce, Treasury and State Department officials are meeting privately with their Cuban counterparts in Washington for talks aimed at expanding business ties between the two nations.
