Probably not yet US ambassador in Cuba

It is highly unlikely that this year will be appointed an ambassador to Cuba.

According to the chairman, the committee is informed of the appointment, but there are no official papers submitted, which could start the process of appointing.

DeLaurentis already in charge of the last year reopened embassy in Havana, but to officially appoint him ambassador Obama has approval from the mostly Republican Senate. And they are not so keen on close ties between the US and Cuba.
