HAVANA - Canada’s foreign minister met with her Cuban counterpart in Havana on Thursday to discuss the political crisis in Cuba’s longtime ally Venezuela and other issues after the island’s Communist government said it was willing to help mediate.
A top Cuban diplomat said subsequently in an interview with Bloomberg that Havana was willing to help, but that leftist ally President Nicolas Maduro would have to be at the table. “Cuba has a long history of playing a constructive role in settling conflict in which it has a stake - in Angola, Central America, and Colombia,” said William LeoGrande, a professor of government at American University.
It also follows U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s recent comments in a CBS television interview saying the Trump administration was working with the Cuban government on Venezuela. Canada, the European Union and other countries have rejected the decision on lawsuits as contrary to international law and said they would defend their companies operating on the island.
