Fifth Day For Cuba Questions At The White House; None At State Department
/The White House
Washington DC
16 July 2021
Briefing with Ms. Jen Psaki
Speaker: And one on Cuba. The president did say yesterday that the United States was trying to reinstate internet access for Cubans. I was wondering if the White House or the administration has reached out to US tech companies, I mean the Google of the world, to help with that effort?
Jen Psaki: That effort would really be led by the State Department and other appropriate entities within the federal government. As the president noted yesterday, returning internet access to Cuba would certainly be something we’d love to be a part of. It is. We’re looking at what our capacities and what our tools are, we have. In terms of more specifics, the State Department would be the best entity to talk to about it.
