US EditionCuban diplomat tells the AP there’s no dialogue with the US but the island is open to one
Cuba faces a $7.5 billion loss from U.S. sanctions and disrupted Venezuelan oil, but seeks informal talks to establish respectful coexistence amid rising tensions.
- Monday's brief interview with The Associated Press showed that Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío told the AP on Monday that Cuba does not have a dialogue with the United States but is open to one if certain criteria are met.
- U.S. pressure on oil suppliers, notably after the Jan. 3 attack, disrupted Venezuela’s shipments to Cuba, while U.S. President Donald Trump threatened tariffs on countries supplying oil to the island.
- Cossío framed the offer by saying Cuba is ready for `informal dialogue`, but stressed that Cuba's constitution, economy, and socialist system are off the table, and `we're not talking specifically about negotiation yet`.
- On the ground, Cubans gave mixed responses as Mike Hammer met locals amid hugs and confrontations, prompting the U.S. bureau to demand Cuba stop interfering with diplomatic work.
- Facing acute shortages and sanctions, Cuban government officials say U.S. measures caused losses over $7.5 billion and Cuba is preparing with creativity, stoicism and austerity while stressing it is not a threat.
