Cuba's deputy foreign minister tells CBS News that his country is willing to accommodate more than one deportation flight per month.
Washington — Cuba's government is willing to accept more deportation flights from the U.S. of Cuban migrants, who have traveled to the southern border in record numbers over the past three years, a top Cuban official told CBS News in an exclusive interview. After a two-year pause, the U.S. restarted deportation flights to the island last year. Since then, the U.S. has been sending one flight with Cuban deportees to Havana each month.
Only Congress can change that law.Fernández de Cossío said the U.S. is 'aiming at destroying the Cuban economy' through its sanctions. He did not concede that economic mismanagement and repressive policies by Havana have also driven Cubans to flee the island, as the U.S. government has argued.
