It is still written policy and will continue until Congress changes it. "The article you cite is EIGHT years old, but it still is in effect."
Petition your representative in Congress to change it if you do not like the policy.

"THe future of the United States' five-decade embargo blocking trade with Cuba is suddenly and unexpectedly murky.
Although President Barack Obama shifted long-standing American policy on Wednesday, the embargo and the lesser known but critically important Cuban Adjustment Act are still in place. And there's no real prospect that the Republican-controlled Congress will change them in the new year."
"Obama's new policy on Cuba effectively ends the U.S. embargo as Florida and the world have known it for more than half a century, most likely leading to its gradual phase-out.
But significant parts will remain in effect, including a ban on American tourism to Cuba.
Obama made extraordinary use of his executive authority to greatly alter the U.S. relationship with Cuba.

Please stay tuned...NOTHING much happening yet
My opinion...another P ploy as he has ignored South America during the tenure. Cuba and Venzuela are partners and Venzuela is important in this equation.
