Jeffrey DeLaurentis (born 1954)[1] is an American diplomat who served as the Chargé d'affaires ad interim of the Embassy of the United States, Havana from 2015 to 2017.[2] DeLaurentis has ambassadorial rank in the State Department because his prior position at the UN was a US Senate-confirmed ambassadorial position.[3] Cuba and the United States formally restored diplomatic relations on July 20, 2015,[4] after having severed diplomatic ties in 1961 amid the Cold War.

Career[]
