Director General, Central America and Caribbean Bureau, Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development

Mr. Chair, unfortunately, I don't have information on any discussions. I'm not privy to discussions with the United States with regard to our sanctions on the shadow fleet.

I can say that we have regular and ongoing discussions with our U.S. counterparts, including with respect to Cuba and our mutual concerns about the Cuban people, their state and their well-being.

See context to find out what was said next.
