Cable says Mariel investment aiming at post-embargo trade

Brazilian government officials told National Security Advisor Gen. James L. Jones that Brazil’s $300 million investment in the expansion of a Cuban port only makes sense in a post-embargo scenario.

According to a cable sent by the U.S. embassy in September 2009 and published this week by Wikileaks, Jones talked with presidential foreign policy advisor Marco Aurelio García and his deputy, Ambassador Marcel Biato, as well as other Brazilian during an Aug. 4-5 visit to Brasilia last year.

“They noted that their plans to help Cuba construct a deep-water port at Mariel only make sense on the assumption that Cuba and the United States will eventually develop a trading relationship,” the cable said about the meeting with García and Biato.
