Cornered without the oil that the now ousted Nicolás Maduro provided them free of charge, Cuban diplomacy confirmed on Monday that officials of the Castro regime recently met with representatives of the government of President Donald Trump in Havana.
Alejandro García del Toro, the deputy director general in charge of the United States in the Cuban Foreign Ministry, confirmed the talks between the two nations to Granma, the leaflet that serves as the official newspaper of the Communist Party of Cuba, describing the talks as a “sensitive issue that, as we have said, we handle with discretion.”
“The U.S. delegation included undersecretaries of the State Department, while the Cuban delegation was headed by a Deputy Foreign Minister,” García del Toro said. “During the meeting, neither side set deadlines or made threatening statements, as reported by the American media,” he continued.
