Cuba reiterated on Friday its willingness to continue normalizing ties with Washington, despite setbacks caused by U.S. President Donald Trump's position on the issue. The current U.S. administration has returned to a pattern featuring hostile rhetoric against Cuba, similar to previous periods of confrontation between the two sides, said Josefina Vidal, director general for U.S. affairs in the Cuban Foreign Ministry, at the closing ceremony of an academic workshop on Cuba-U.S. relations. Vidal referred to the measures implemented by Washington after Trump's decision in June to roll back the historic opening and process of normalization of ties initiated by his predecessor, Barack Obama.
