Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel announced Friday that Cuba and the U.S. recently held talks aimed at resolving bilateral differences. This marks the first confirmation from Cuba regarding such discussions. Díaz-Canel stated that international factors facilitated the exchanges, though he didn't elaborate on specifics. The announcement comes as Cuba faces a severe energy crisis, with no petroleum shipments arriving in the last three months, which Díaz-Canel attributed to a U.S. energy blockade. The energy shortage has impacted various sectors, including communications, education, and healthcare, leading to power plant shutdowns and postponed surgeries.
