HAVANA — Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is scheduled to meet with Jewish leaders shortly after arriving in Cuba on Monday, hinting that his visit will deal partly with the case of a U.S. contractor whose conviction has further dented relations between Havana and Washington.
The agenda indicates Carter also is scheduled to meet with Cuban President Raul Castro as well as Roman Catholic Cardinal Jaime Ortega before leaving Wednesday.
The trip is under the auspices of the Carter Center, whose officials have given only a general description of the motives for the visit, saying the aim is to discuss economic policies and improve relations between the U.S. and Cuba.
