I remember the United States indicted former President NicolΓ‘s Maduro before they sent U.S.
troops to swoop in and depose him by bringing him to a jail in New York.
And the Cuban government has said over and over that all of these actions by the United States are not about democracy in Cuba, that they're not about seeking justice.
They've said these actions are about justifying a military intervention.
So I asked the ambassador, what is Havana willing to put on the table to keep something like that from happening?
You're ready to negotiate on everything, including what the U.S.
has been asking for for decades, multi-party system, more recently a change in presidency.
And, you know, that message was reinforced in Havana on Friday.
The Cuban government gathered thousands of supporters near the U.S.
embassy.
Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel was there.
And they chanted, Viva Raul and Patria o Muerte, which translates to homeland or death.
Thank you, Scott.
Cuba's Interior Ministry says the boat entered into Cuban waters and when border troops approached, the occupants opened fire.
Cuban troops returned fire, killing four people and injuring six.
The Cuban government says the men on board were Cubans living in Florida planning terrorist attacks on the island.
Kiki Naranjo is a friend of one of the survivors and says none of the men were terrorists.
They are all men who want Cuba to be free, he says, but they grew tired of promises by politicians.
Naranjo and his friend run a group that he says wanted to sabotage the government from the inside.
