American diplomats expressed concerns about Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham’s apparent double-talk on the Cuba issue and wrote in an October 2008 diplomatic cable that his approaching trip to the Communist nation was “troubling”.

On October 4, 2008, Ingraham informed a U.S. Embassy official that he was considering joining a group of his peers on a CARICOM-sponsored visit to Cuba that December, according to the cable.

Ingraham reportedly said he had traveled to Cuba “a couple of decades ago” and noted that his Free National Movement party had unsuccessfully opposed the Progressive Liberal Party government when it established diplomatic relations with Havana in 2006.

The embassy official, according to the cable, told Ingraham he was certain that at best the United States government would be “deeply disappointed” if the prime minister were to travel to Cuba.
