A delegation of senior U.S. State Department officials traveled to Cuba last week aboard a U.S. government aircraft for diplomatic meetings, according to government officials.

The American delegation met with Cuban government officials in Havana as part of recent diplomatic engagement between the two countries. The visit represents a notable diplomatic opening between Washington and Havana.

The meetings occurred during a period when the Trump administration has maintained pressure on the island nation through various policy measures. Details about the specific agenda and outcomes of the discussions have not been publicly disclosed.

The visit marks continued diplomatic contact between the United States and Cuba, despite broader tensions in the bilateral relationship. Both countries have maintained some level of official communication even amid policy disagreements.

Neither the State Department nor Cuban officials have provided extensive public comment about the substance of the recent meetings in Havana.
