"These talks have been aimed at finding solutions through dialogue to the bilateral differences we have between the two nations, Diaz-Canel, the Cuban president, said in the video, which aired on Friday, shortly before he was scheduled to address Cuban media in a rare appearance that comes amid a severe economic crisis and as the Communist government has come under increasing pressure from Donald Trump."
"Diaz-Canel said that the Cuban negotiators had participated on the basis of equality and respect for the political systems of both states, and for the sovereignty and self-determination of the Cuban government."
"The address was billed as a continuation of a 5 February event when Diaz-Canel warned that Cuba was approaching a situation that would require extreme measures given the economic crisis, frequent power blackouts and fuel shortages exacerbated by Trump's imposition of an oil blockade on the Caribbean island."
Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel announced that Cuban officials have engaged in talks with the US government seeking solutions to the economic blockade affecting the Caribbean nation. These negotiations aimed to resolve bilateral differences through dialogue while maintaining principles of equality and respect for both nations' political systems and sovereignty. The announcement comes amid Cuba's severe economic crisis, characterized by power blackouts and fuel shortages intensified by Trump's oil blockade. Diaz-Canel's address represents a continuation of earlier warnings about Cuba's deteriorating economic situation. Additionally, US officials recently met with Raul Guillermo Rodriguez Castro, grandson of former president Raul Castro, during a Caribbean leaders meeting, indicating ongoing diplomatic engagement at multiple levels.
