Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall were given the red carpet treatment in Communist Cuba on Monday night at a historic meeting with the President of the socialist state.
Charles and Camilla have this week become the first British royals to visit post- revolutionary Cuba since 1959. On Monday night, Anthony Stokes, Britain’s ambassador to Cuba, justified the trip in the face of criticism: “We and the European Union have a very strong policy of engaging with the Cuban government, and we believe that is the right way - not only to talk about the more difficult issues, but also to identify ways we can work together.
“It is a very special moment. Cuba has never seen anything quite like this before. There have been important senior-level visits. President Obama was here in 2016, but a royal visit is something really special.”

The trip comes amid rising tensions between Cuba and the US, with President Donald Trump threatening to impose sanctions on the island in the northern Caribbean.
His national security adviser John Bolton last year branded Havana part of a "troika of tyranny" along with leftist Latin American allies Venezuela and Nicaragua.

Charles and his mare should take a cruise around Havana in an authentic 1957 Chevy rag top equipped with a genuine one liter diesel torque monster build in Red China. He and his mount could then experience the exhilaration of genuine fossil f*cking fuel air pollution that makes 1960 L.A. smog seem like a reprieve inside a HEPA chamber.
This old bastard is an excellent reason for eliminating the monarchy, an institution that has no place in the world of 2019.
And why should we Americans care? this is the USA. He’s in the UK. Not the same country! We do not have a king!
Raoul...87 years old...these leftys go on forever...like Carter and Soros.
Cuba has no President. It has a dictator.
