x/united-states-of-america
— 5d
Cuba’s foreign minister reaffirmed there are no negotiations or agenda for talks with the United States amid what Havana calls a genocidal blockade, warning that the embargo pushed losses to about $8.1 billion in 2025 and could worsen in 2026 with new oil restrictions, even as Cuba says it remains open to contact. He also said Cuba will continue maintaining lines of communication with Washington despite the lack of progress and political will on the U.S. side.
