A senior American diplomat has held high-level talks with the Cuban government in Havana, state department officials are reported to have said.
The talks between the two nations were the first of their kind in years, the Associated Press news agency reports.
State department official Bisa Williams held the unannounced talks with Cuba's deputy foreign minister during a visit to Cuba earlier this month, AP says.
A US trade embargo on Cuba remains, but there are signs relations are easing.
Earlier this month, Ms Williams, the deputy assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs, was part of a US delegation who went to Havana to discuss the possible resumption of direct postal services between the two nations.

Jimmy Cartuh foreign policy from bammy...or worse? Yep, clean up Kennedy's Cuba problem, then clean up Carter's Iran problem. The man is just a super problem solver. Just wait and see who has to clean up the problems he causes.

The last time was probably under Jimmah Carter. Obama, like Jimmah, will talk to anyone who is a sworn enemy of the United States.
(I mean, holy cr@p...!)
Anyway, four years of Jimmah finally gave us Ronald Reagan.
Eight months of Obama have right thinking people as stirred up now as they were in 1980. There’s hope.

If the talks are at a high enough level, they probably include these words from the American side: “We surrender.”

Obama is going to end the embargo so we can buy Cuban oil after Castro starts drilling in the gulf.
Nothing like putting a gazillion dollars in a dictator’s coffers. It worked for Chavez.
