Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has said his government is not currently in talks with Washington, remaining defiant as the Trump administration attempts to pressure Cuba into making a deal with the U.S. after the military strike on Venezuela. In a series of posts on X, Díaz-Canel said, “As history demonstrates, relations between the U.S. and Cuba, in order to advance, must be based on International Law rather than on hostility, threats, and economic coercion.” His comments came after Trump announced on Sunday that Cuba would no longer be receiving Venezuelan oil, which has been a lifeline for the island that has been devastated by decades of U.S. economic sanctions.
