US President-elect Joe Biden speaks as he campaigns on behalf of Georgia Democratic US senate candidates Jon Ossoff and Rev. Cuba's relations with President Donald Trump were badly strained, and on the campaign trail Biden vowed to change US policy towards the Communist island. "Those principles will never be on the table," he added, speaking exactly six years after presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro announced moves to normalize diplomatic and economic ties. Soon after Biden's November 3 election victory, Diaz-Canel said he saw a new chance of building a constructive relationship. In 2018, Diaz-Canel succeeded Raul Castro, 89, who served as president after his brother Fidel Castro.
