Raúl Guillermo Rodríguez Castro, grandson of Raúl Castro, offered to negotiate with the US in a USA Today interview, sparking officialist backlash.

This interview occurred shortly after the Cuban Foreign Minister dismissed US opinions on sovereignty. The reactions highlight internal dissent regarding Rodríguez Castro's perceived overreach and the potential for his familial ties to overshadow institutional processes.
