"The Cuban government has said it is not in any high-level talks with the United States but has not outright denied press reports that US officials may be in informal talks with Raul Guillermo Rodriguez Castro, the grandson of former Cuban President Raul Castro."
"Axios reported this month that Rubio had been holding secret talks with the grandson of Cuba's former leader. US officials close to Rubio met with the grandson again on the sidelines of this week's regional Caribbean Community conference in St. Kitts and Nevis."
Trump stated that the Cuban government is in financial crisis and open to discussions with the United States, suggesting a possible "friendly takeover" of Cuba. He emphasized Cuba's lack of money, oil, and food resources, describing it as a failing nation. Marco Rubio is reportedly handling negotiations at a high level. The Cuban government denies formal talks but has not denied reports of informal discussions with Raul Guillermo Rodriguez Castro, grandson of former Cuban President Raul Castro. Recent tensions escalated when Cuban forces killed four exiles in a speedboat incident. The U.S. has blocked oil shipments to Cuba and recently captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, removing a key Cuban ally.
