Miguel Díaz-Canel confirmed that Cuba is currently holding talks with the United States over potential solutions to the long-standing tensions between the two countries. The announcement signals what could become one of the most significant diplomatic and economic openings between Cuba and the U.S. in decades.
Speaking on national television, Díaz-Canel said the discussions with the administration of Donald Trump are still in their early stages but are aimed at addressing key differences through dialogue.
The talks come as Cuba faces severe economic pressure, including fuel shortages and rolling blackouts, with Díaz-Canel noting that no oil shipments have entered the country in the past three months.
Reports suggest Washington may be exploring a broader economic deal with Havana, though details remain unclear. If finalized, such an agreement could represent the biggest shift in U.S.–Cuba relations since widespread nationalizations followed the Cuban Revolution.
In a separate development, Cuba also announced it will release 51 prisoners as part of a Vatican-mediated agreement — a move seen by some analysts as a gesture aimed at supporting the ongoing negotiations.
While discussions continue, experts say the humanitarian situation on the island remains difficult as both governments weigh the political and economic stakes of a potential deal.
