So
here’s Secretary Tillerson’s verdict: the
U.S. Embassy in Havana will operate with a staffing level “similar to” the
minimal presence we have now, and diplomats will not be accompanied by family.
Right now there’s no political section, no economic section, no human rights
officer, and a consulate that handles American citizen emergencies but issues
no visas (except for health emergencies and officials). There is still no
conclusion as to what happened; maybe things will change when investigations
conclude. The travel warning remains intact. In the meantime, private sector
engagement will continue – regular travelers, exchanges, business visits –
while we wait for the government to sort things out.
Regarding
the scientific article
cited yesterday, here’s a worthwhile (and plain English) discussion
by two of its authors.
