WASHINGTON/HAVANA, Jan 15 – The U.S. State Department’s top aid official warned Cuba’s authorities on Thursday not to interfere with a humanitarian aid shipment and suggested President Donald Trump could take action if Cuba fails to comply.
The warning from Jeremy Lewin, a senior State Department official, comes as the U.S. prepares to deliver $3 million in aid pledged to the Cuban people following Hurricane Melissa in October.
