Raúl Guillermo Rodríguez Castro, grandson of former Cuban president Raúl Castro, stated that he was open to negotiating with the president of the United States, Donald Trump, in an interview published by "USA Today" this Monday (6).
In a conversation that lasted two days with the American newspaper, in Havana, Castro's grandson stated:
"I can negotiate with any person designated by the US. If given the opportunity, (of course) with Trump."
He also said that Cuba would be willing, under the right conditions, to release "people considered political prisoners."
In May, Cuba released the names of thousands of prisoners who had been released under a decree issued the previous month, which granted a "full and definitive pardon" to more than 2,000 people.
The decision was described by the Cuban government at the time as a "humanitarian and sovereign gesture" amid negotiations. with the US over a series of disputes, including under threat of invasion.
Raúl Castro is criminally accused in the US of murder, destruction and conspiracy
Despite the gesture, in May, the United States announced a series of charges against Raúl Castro, including the crime of murder.
The accusation marked a new critical point in relations between the long-time Cold War rivals and came as Trump is pushing for regime change in Cuba, where Castro's communist allies are in power since his late brother, Fidel Castro, led a revolution in 1959.
