Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel stated there are no current talks with the U.S. government, except for technical migration contacts. This follows U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to cut off Venezuelan oil and money to Cuba. Diaz-Canel insisted that relations must be based on international law and mutual respect, not hostility or coercion, asserting Cuba's sovereignty and willingness for dialogue. Trump had urged Cuba to 'make a deal' or face consequences, linking it to U.S. actions in Venezuela.
