Cuba’s President Refuses Talks with U.S., Except on Immigration
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has ruled out any form of dialogue with the United States, except for technical communication related to immigration.
According to international news agencies, Díaz-Canel’s remarks came after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Cuba to either reach an agreement or face consequences.
Trump warned Cuba, saying, “Make a deal now before it’s too late.”
On social media platform X, the Cuban president clarified that there were no discussions with the U.S. government on any topic other than migration. His statement came in response to Trump’s claim that talks between the U.S. and Cuba were underway following the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Trump also criticized Cuba for benefiting for years from Venezuelan oil and money while providing security support to two Venezuelan leaders. He added that now Venezuela enjoys the protection of the world’s most powerful military, the United States.
Issuing a stern warning, Trump said that Cuba would no longer receive money or oil and urged the country to strike an immediate deal before it was too late.
