据Axios报道，卢比奥与劳尔·吉列尔莫·罗德里格斯·卡斯特罗（Raul Guillermo Rodriguez Castro）的会谈绕过了古巴官方政府渠道。
“我们的立场——美国政府的立场——是这个政权必须倒台，”一位高级官员告诉该新闻媒体。“但具体会是什么样子取决于[特朗普总统]，他尚未做出决定。卢比奥仍在与这位孙子进行会谈。”

“我不会称这些为‘谈判’，更像是‘关于未来的讨论’，”该官员补充道。
本月早些时候，古巴独裁者米格尔·迪亚斯-卡内尔警告称，随着美国切断对其生存至关重要的商业阀门（如燃料和食品），他的国家“即将崩溃”，此前这个一党制共产党政权已统治近70年。

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reportedly been holding secret talks with the grandson of Raul Castro, the former President of Cuba.
The talks between Rubio and Raul Guillermo Rodriguez Castro are bypassing official Cuban government channels, Axios reported.
“Our position — the U.S. government’s position — is the regime has to go,” a senior official told the news outlet. “But what exactly that looks like is up to [President Trump] and he has yet to decide. Rubio is still in talks with the grandson.”

“I wouldn’t call these ‘negotiations’ as much as ‘discussions’ about the future,” the official added.
Earlier this month, Cuban despot Miguel Díaz-Canel warned his country is “close to failing” as the U.S. shuts off commercial valves vital to its survival, such as fuel and food, followed by nearly 70 years of one-party communist rule.
Cuba’s power grid is failing, hospitals are short of necessary supplies and garbage has piled up on the streets.

The Trump administration has ratcheted up pressure on the communist-run island in recent weeks, following the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, a Cuban ally. The administration has accused Havana of cozying up to U.S. adversaries and terrorist groups.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the State Department. The White House referred Fox News Digital to press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s remarks on Tuesday, in which she said Havana needs to make serious changes.

“They are a regime that is falling,” she said. “Their country is collapsing, and that’s why we believe it’s in their best interest to make very dramatic changes very soon. And we’ll see what they decide to do.”
