Cuban Leader Confirms Talks with - Cuban leader with Trump administration - Miguel Díaz-Canel, President of the Republic of Cuba, has issued a statement confirming that talks have been held with the Trump administration. This announcement has drawn the attention of the international community at a time when the United States has increased its pressure on Cuba.
Reports of secret meetings between Cuban and US officials had previously circulated in media outlets, but this is the first official confirmation from the Cuban head of state. Detailed information about the purpose of the talks and the topics covered has not yet been disclosed.
While confirming the existence of the talks, President Díaz-Canel specifically emphasized that reaching a final agreement would require a certain amount of time. He noted the importance of continuing dialogue despite the United States' harsh policy towards Cuba.

Significant concessions are expected from both sides to achieve any progress. However, the mere existence of the talks demonstrates that diplomatic channels are still active and communication opportunities remain.
