“These talks have been aimed at finding solutions to the bilateral differences we have between the two nations,” Díaz-Canel said in a prerecorded statement to senior communist officials.

Those differences are stark: Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, has said he wants regime change in Havana, while Donald Trump this week repeated calls for a "friendly takeover" - before saying: "It may not be a friendly takeover."
