Cuba Opens Talks With US Amid Energy, Economic Crisis

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel confirmed Friday that his government has opened up talks with the United States “aimed at finding solutions through dialogue to the bilateral differences between the two nations.”

Díaz-Canel, in his video address aired on state television, did not elaborate on those factors or provide any details about the direct talks, but it marks the first time that he has confirmed the communication between Cuba and the United States.

Diaz-Canel also said he hoped the negotiations would move the two long-time rivals "away from confrontation."

His comments come as a U.S. energy blockade has prevented any fuel imports to Cuba for three months, further crippling Cuba in a deepening energy crisis.
