Cuba Acknowledges 'Very Sensitive' Talks With U.S. to Seek 'Solutions Through Dialogue'

Cuban families remain outside their houses during a nationwide blackout in Havana on July 6, 2026. Cuba on July 6 suffered its third nationwide power outage since the start of the year, the state electricity company said. The impoverished island was already struggling to keep the lights on before US President Donald Trump in January imposed an oil blockade, which has depleted the already dwindling supply of fuel for Cuba's power plants.

Cuba has confirmed that it is holding talks with representatives of the Trump administration to seek "solutions" to bilateral disputes, publicly acknowledging a sensitive diplomatic channel days after Raul Castro's grandson admitted in an interview that he was open to negotiating directly with President Donald Trump.
