Cuban President Miguel Díaz‑Canel said his government is not negotiating with the United States, despite Trump’s threats after cutting off Venezuelan oil supplies.

He stated that only technical migration contacts exist and that broader talks must follow international law and mutual respect.

Trump warned Cuba to strike a deal quickly after a U.S. operation in Venezuela disrupted its key energy lifeline.

Díaz‑Canel condemned U.S. hostility and emphasized Cuba’s commitment to sovereignty and independence, Fox News has reported.

The move worsens Cuba’s energy crisis, which already caused widespread blackouts due to fuel shortages and aging infrastructure.
