Washington, August 20 (RHC) -- The possibility that U.S. President Barack Obama takes new steps to ease the travel restrictions to Cuba is the focus of Cuba policy debate in the United States.

Sources quoted by ABC News said the U.S. president plans to use his executive powers to ease the travel restrictions imposed by Congress on U.S. citizens wishing to visit Cuba.

According to ABC, the U.S. Treasury Department is now considering new regulations that would allow all Americans to travel to Cuba as individuals and not in tour groups or with other third-party arrangers.

Talks are already underway between the Federal Aviation Administration and Cuban aviation authorities to resume regularly scheduled commercial flights between the two countries, ABC News reports.
