Cuba's top representative in Washington says the two governments have stopped talking altogether, and she is not describing an ordinary diplomatic chill. In an interview with Bloomberg published Sept. 1, chargé d'affaires Lianys Torres Rivera said Havana and the Trump White House cannot even settle on what a negotiating agenda would look like, adding flatly that no talks are underway. That admission lands at a moment when the dispute between the two countries has moved well beyond the usual back-and-forth over the six-decade embargo.
