HAVANA (AP) — A career U.S. diplomat with more than 30 years' experience
has taken up his post as Washington's top envoy to Cuba.
John Caulfield is the new chief of the U.S. Interests Section in Havana.
Washington does not have an embassy there since the two Cold War enemies
do not have diplomatic relations.
Caulfield was previously charge d' affaires at the U.S. Embassy in
Venezuela.
He spent a good deal of time effectively in charge of that mission,
first when Venezuela expelled the U.S. ambassador and later when it
rejected President Barack Obama's chosen replacement.
A Tuesday statement from the Interests Section says Caulfield arrived
the previous day.
He replaces Jonathan Farrar, who left this summer.
