Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel confirmed that Cuba has recently engaged in talks with the U.S. to address differences between the two countries. These discussions come amid a severe energy crisis in Cuba, worsened by what Díaz-Canel describes as a U.S. energy blockade. The island has not received petroleum shipments in three months, leading to widespread blackouts and affecting essential services like healthcare and transportation. To cope, Cuba has turned to alternative energy sources, such as solar panels and converting bakeries to run on firewood or coal. The talks aim to find solutions to bilateral issues and explore cooperation opportunities, while respecting each country’s political systems and sovereignty. The energy crisis has also impacted Cuba’s production and employment, prompting the government to implement fuel-saving measures.
