Cuba Signals Willingness to Engage in Dialogue as Diplomatic Tensions Escalate with U.S. over Sanctions
Cuba signals openness to talks with the U.S. amid sanctions and energy shortages; 100,000+ lost power recently, officials said.
- On February 5, 2026, President Miguel Díaz‑Canel offered to speak with President Donald Trump without pressure, insisting talks must respect Cuba's sovereignty and independence.
- U.S. pressure escalated after last week’s tariff threats on countries supplying oil to Cuba and the U.S. claim of capturing Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro last month, cutting off key fuel supplies.
- A recent grid failure left hundreds of thousands in eastern Cuba without power for hours amid fuel shortages, while the U.S. State Department announced $6,000,000 in aid through the Catholic Church in Cuba following an earlier $3,000,000.
- White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said, `I think the fact that the Cuban government is on its last leg and its country is about to collapse, they should be wise in their statements directed towards the president of the United States.`
- Local experts say a breakthrough in U.S.-Cuba relations could be on the horizon and the relationship is at a pivotal crossroads, but the timing of any talks remains unknown.
