Rubio holding secret talks with grandson of Raul Castro

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been holding secret talks with the grandson and caretaker of Cuba's aging de facto dictator, Raul Castro.

1news.media informs, citing Axios, "I wouldn't call these 'negotiations' as much as 'discussions' about the future," a senior Trump administration official said.

According to the report, Rubio and his team see the 41-year-old grandson and his circle as representing younger, business-minded Cubans for whom revolutionary communism has failed — and who see value in rapprochement with the U.S.
