The US has sensationally reached an agreement with Cuba. About what? 0 18

A delegation from the US State Department visited Havana and met with representatives of the Cuban authorities, including Raúl Rodríguez Castro — the grandson of the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Raúl Castro. This was reported by Axios, citing sources.

According to the publication, these are the first direct negotiations between the US and Cuba in the last ten years. The last time the parties had direct contact was during former US President Barack Obama's visit to the island in 2016.

Sources reported that US representatives urged the Cuban authorities to expand democratic and economic freedoms. They stated that this needs to be done soon while there is still an opportunity to improve relations with Washington.

For their part, the US promised assistance. In particular, Washington representatives proposed to restore internet access on the island using the Starlink satellite system.

Earlier, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel confirmed the fact of negotiations with American representatives. However, he also pointed out that threats to overthrow the current government of the island come from the US almost every day.
