U.S.–Cuba Relations End After Obama Hit By Foul Ball At Exhibition Baseball Game

HAVANA—Officially closing the brief period of eased tensions between the two countries, the United States government severed all diplomatic ties to Cuba today after President Obama was reportedly hit in the face by a foul ball while attending an exhibition baseball game between the Cuban national team and the Tampa Bay Rays. “Shortly after being struck just below the left eye by an errant line drive this afternoon, the president determined that the U.S. would terminate all humanitarian aid to Cuba, effective immediately,” said White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, who stated that Obama was glancing down at his phone in the fifth inning when Cuban slugger Yosvani Alarcon Tardio drove a late-breaking pitch over the third-base dugout and directly into the commander-in-chief’s head, adding that the disoriented president, with blood gushing from his nose and covered in the contents of his bag of popcorn that had been sent flying by the impact, angrily refused the napkins and ice cubes offered to him by panicked Cuban diplomats. “The president decided to leave for the airport just moments after the incident, and while receiving first aid aboard Air Force One, repeatedly mentioned that visiting Cuba had been a mistake and that he will revoke the policy permitting certain forms of American tourism. At present, the president is recovering from his injuries, but he has stressed that the trade embargo will also remain in place indefinitely.” According to numerous political historians, the incident marks the lowest point in U.S.–Cuba relations since Fidel Castro’s 1959 visit to the White House when he was mauled by Vice President Richard Nixon’s dog, Checkers.

哈瓦那——据报道称，奥巴马在参加古巴国家队和坦帕湾光芒队的棒球比赛展览时，被界外球直击正脸后，美国政府切断了与古巴的所有外交关系，至此正式结束两国之间短暂的局势缓和期。“今天下午被一个错误的平飞球砸到左眼下面一点之后，奥巴马总统决定美国将会终止对古巴所有的人道援助，并立即执行，”白宫参谋长丹尼斯.麦克多诺说道，他说道当时是第五局，古巴强击手尤斯瓦尼.阿拉康.塔迪奥往三垒棒球场休息的地方掷了一球，直直的打中了总统的头，当时总统正低头瞄自己的手机，丹尼斯还补充说道被砸之后，总统没有了方向感，血不断从鼻子里流出来，流到了大包爆米花上，爆米花由于受到球飞过来的力量的影响，有些已经飞了出去，总统十分生气，慌乱的古巴外教官递给总统纸巾和冰块遭到了总统的拒绝。“事故发生后，总统立马决定前往机场。当他在空军一号飞机上接受帮助时，他不断重复提到访问古巴就是一个错误，并且说他将取消允许美国旅游业某些形式的政策。目前，总统正在恢复，但他仍然强调贸易禁运令还是会毫无疑问地执行的。”据很多政治历史学家称，自卡斯特罗1959年访问白宫以来，该事故标志着美国---古巴关系中的最低点，当时卡斯特罗来访时被副总统尼克松家的小狗切可斯咬伤了。
