Three Nights in Havana

The historic 1976 visit of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau to Havana marked a significant moment in diplomatic relations, as he became the first NATO leader to travel to Cuba since the American embargo. Amidst controversy due to Cuba's military involvement in Angola, Trudeau's arrival was met with an enthusiastic crowd of 250,000. His famous proclamation of support for Fidel Castro and Margaret's playful remark about Castro added a unique and personal touch to the politically charged atmosphere of the visit.
