Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel says his administration is currently not in talks with the U.S. government.
Cuba was receiving an estimated 35,000 barrels a day from Venezuela before the U.S. attacked, along withand roughly 7,500 from Russia, according to Jorge Piñón of the Energy Institute at the University of Texas at Austin, who tracks the shipments.
The situation between the U.S. and Cuba is “very sad and concerning,” said Andy S. Gómez, retired dean of the School of International Studies and senior fellow in Cuban Studies at University of Miami. He said he sees Díaz-Canel’s latest comments “as a way to try and buy a little bit of time for the inner circle to decide what steps it’s going to take.”“They had every opportunity when President Obama opened up U.S. diplomatic relations, and yet they didn’t even bring Cuban coffee to the table,” Gómez said. “Of course, these are desperate times for Cuba.” Cuba's president stressed on X that “there are no talks with the U.S. government, except for technical contacts in the area of migration.”Coto reported from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
