Mauricio Claver-Carone<\/b><\/a>, the United States special envoy for Latin America, said in an interview with <\/span>Pol\u00edtico<\/b><\/a>\u00a0that the Trump administration can \u201cbe very creative\u201d in its measures to put an end to the Cuban government.<\/span><\/p>\n

Claver-Carone is convinced that the government \u201cis probably weaker than ever before,\u201d and he himself warns that it is what has always been said, but that \u201cthis time it really is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Born in Miami and of Cuban origin, Claver-Carone is known for his tough stance and defending sanctions against Havana.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regarding the changes he expects, he told journalist Ben Schreckinger that they must be a \u201cdemocratic change.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Cuban model, obviously, is dead. You don\u2019t hear any country in the region say: \u2018I want to be like Cuba,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shortly before assuming his second term, <\/span>Trump<\/b><\/a>\u00a0appointed Claver-Carone, former president of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), to head the State Department for Latin America.<\/span><\/p>\n

During Trump\u2019s first term (2017-2021), Claver-Carone assumed the presidency of the IDB in October 2020, but was dismissed amid a notorious scandal for having an affair with a subordinate and giving her several pay raises, recalls an EFE press agency <\/span>dispatch<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
