Cuba Denies Talks with US Government

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel stated today that no negotiations are underway with the US government, except for technical contacts regarding migration issues. He emphasized that Cuba remains open to dialogue with the US, based on mutual respect, equality, and international law. This statement comes in response to Donald Trump's announcement that oil and money flows from Venezuela to Cuba would be halted, suggesting negotiations instead. The Cuban president did not rule out dialogue but reiterated the need for respect for Cuba's sovereignty.
