US says to reopen consulate in Cuba

WASHINGTON, 05 March 2022, (TON): Its embassy in Havana said ‘the United States consulate, closed since 2017, will resume limited issuing of visas.”

Timothy Zuniga-Brown, the charge d’affaires at the US diplomatic mission in Havana said “the consulate “will begin the limited resumption of some immigrant visa services, as part of a gradual expansion of the embassy’s functions.”

The US reduced its mission to the bare minimum in September 2017, when then-US president Donald Trump accused Havana of carrying out “sonic attacks” against embassy staff in 2016 and 2017.

Staff there and their families had suffered from mystery illnesses.

Similar incidences later occurred at other embassies around the world.
