US EditionCuban President Says Talks Were Recently Held with the US to Resolve Differences
Talks aim to resolve bilateral issues amid an energy blockade causing blackouts and postponed surgeries, with Cuba producing 40% of its oil yet facing severe shortages, Díaz-Canel said.
- On March 13, 2026, Cuban President Miguel Díaz‑Canel said Cuban officials recently held conversations with the U.S. government to look for solutions to bilateral differences.
- Amid three months without incoming fuel, Díaz‑Canel said no fuel ships have arrived, worsening reserves and destabilizing the Cuban electrical grid amid the U.S. oil blockade since January.
- Diaz‑Canel said he led the Cuban side with former Cuban President Raúl Castro and senior officials, declining to name U.S. participants while reports showed Raúl Guillermo Rodríguez Castro behind him.
- Cuba announced the release of 51 prisoners under a Vatican-brokered deal, while Díaz‑Canel said talks with the United States are in early stages, raising hopes for an economic agreement.
- Facing widespread outages, Cuba's domestic petroleum production covers 40% but is insufficient, causing postponed surgeries and outages exceeding 30 hours in some Cuban provinces.
