When asked by reporters at a summit in Chile if Washington plans to scrap the decades-old embargo, Biden replied: "No."
He and President Obama "think that Cuban people should determine their own fate and they should be able to live in freedom," Biden said after taking part in the Progressive Governance Summit of leaders from Latin America, Europe, and the United States.
A "transition" is needed in the Washington policy toward the communist-ruled island but the US vice president said he was in Chile "to talk about the economy, not Cuba."
