State Department officials have reportedly warned Havana it has a “small window” to implement reforms
US officials have urged Cuba to transition from socialism to a market-based economy and compensate American citizens and corporations whose assets were seized in the 1960s, several US media outlets reported on Friday and Saturday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
A delegation from the US State Department outlined the demands late last week during the first such trip to Havana since 2016, as Cuba grapples with severe fuel shortages and blackouts following restrictions on oil shipments imposed by President Donald Trump.
The US reportedly called on Cuba to implement economic reforms, expand the private sector, attract foreign investment, and release political prisoners. According to The New York Times, US officials also proposed bringing Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet service to Cuba and allowing unrestricted connectivity.
