Trump says talks with Cuba ongoing, action possible after Iran
Talks between the U.S. and Cuba focus on resolving long-term tensions amid Cuba's severe energy crisis and political unrest, with Trump prioritizing Iran conflict first.
- President Donald Trump announced on Sunday from Air Force One that a deal with Cuba could be possible, saying 'Cuba also wants to make a deal, and I think we will pretty soon either make a deal or do whatever we have to do.'
- On Friday, Cuba's President Miguel Díaz-Canel said the country opened talks with U.S. officials as it faces one of its most severe economic crises in decades, and 'These talks have been aimed at finding solutions through dialogue to the bilateral differences we have between the two nations'.
- Fuel shortages have forced Cuban authorities to impose rolling electricity outages and limit some public services, worsened by disruptions in imported oil used in power plants and transportation networks.
- With tensions still high, regional allies and investors watch as U.S. officials say easing pressure likely depends on concessions, while Cuban leaders insist talks respect independence.
- After weeks of stark rhetoric, the comments come as Trump repeatedly said Cuba was on the verge of collapse or eager for a deal, while regional allies and investors watch closely.
