In a solemn meeting room in Havana, he and the head of Cuban intelligence. An unthinkable image, almost a heresy for so many decades, has become a reality this Thursday. The meeting, including a series of photos of the meeting published by the US intelligence agency itself, is so far the biggest milestone in the two months of opaque negotiations underway between Washington and Havana. The symbolic meeting, where both parties have announced that they are committed to “seriously addressing economic and security issues,” comes at a time of maximum weakness for the Castro regime, suffocated as ever by the energy blockade imposed since the end of January by Donald Trump.
