Raúl Guillermo Rodríguez Castro USA TODAY via REUTERS Raúl Guillermo Rodríguez Castro, grandson of former Cuban president Raúl Castro, said 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 anyone designated by the US. If I have 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 were released under a decree issued the previous month, which granted a “total 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 on 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 indictment marked a new flashpoint in relations between the longtime Cold War rivals and came as Trump pushes for regime change in Cuba, where communist allies of Castro have been in power since his late brother, Fidel Castro, led a revolution in 1959.
