US cautious over safety of citizens in Cuba
US officials said no government watches over citizens in Cuba and await a new government formation led by Fidel Castro. Despite rioting after Batista’s fall, the White House and State Department see no immediate danger to Americans, while Castro supporters hosted the Cuban Embassy in Washington and Ernesto Betancourt urged Emilio Pando to act as charge d affaires until an ambassador is chosen.
