Cuban Official Says Talks with the US Are at a Standstill, Announces UN Debate on US Oil Embargo
Cuba says the stalled talks come as new U.S. sanctions have deepened shortages and prompted a July 7 U.N. debate, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez announced that talks with the United States are at a standstill while scheduling a July 7 General Assembly debate on the energy embargo imposed by President Donald Trump.
- Earlier this month, the United States imposed sanctions on Cuban President Miguel Díaz Canel and other officials following the Communist Party and National Assembly's approval of 176 economic measures representing the biggest reform since the revolution.
- The oil blockade has paralyzed Cuba's economy, causing prolonged blackouts, fuel rationing, and internet outages. Basic services including garbage collection and water delivery have been suspended, with workdays reduced.
- Rodriguez stated economic measures are "a matter of total and absolute sovereignty," adding that while U.S. conduct was "generally respectful" during earlier talks, it remains accompanied by "constant aggressive statements."
- Denying Cuba is a threat to the United States, Rodriguez criticized the ongoing policy of hostility. The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the upcoming debate.
