Vance announced talks with Havana on possible changes in Cuba

The White House administration is negotiating with the Cuban government on possible changes in the country that will help improve bilateral relations with the United States. This was announced on June 18 at a press conference by American Vice President J. D. Vance.

He noted that if the Cuban authorities make reasonable decisions, US relations with the island will become much better.

"We want the Cuban people to be happy and successful. We are currently negotiating with the Cuban Government on how they could change their approach and change this situation. We'll see what they do," the politician said, which was broadcast on the White House's YouTube channel.

Thus, Washington will make its decisions regarding Cuba based on the future behavior of Havana, Vance stressed.
