HAVANA (Reuters) - U.S. Senator Jeff Flake, former Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt and the Trump administration’s top diplomat in Cuba met on Monday with new Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel, the highest-level U.S. delegation to do so since he took office.

“We had a good meeting with President Diaz-Canel. ... We are hopeful for the future if we can have more connectivity, more travel, more meetings with Cubans and vice versa,” Flake, a Republican, told a news conference in Havana before leaving for home.

Diaz-Canel became president in April, succeeding Raul Castro.

Flake and Schmidt, who is now a board member at Google parent Alphabet Inc, were on a 24-hour visit to discuss improving the island’s internet and also met with the foreign minister and Communications Ministry officials.
