Miguel Díaz-Canel announced on state television that Cuban negotiators met US officials to discuss the US-imposed blockade as Cuba faces an economic crisis with fuel and power shortages.

Miguel Díaz-Canel said Cuban officials held talks with US officials to seek solutions to the blockade.
He said the talks were aimed at resolving bilateral differences through dialogue and with respect for sovereignty.
The statement followed a Feb 5 warning that Cuba could need extreme measures amid an economic crisis with power outages and fuel shortages.
Cuban officials say those shortages were exacerbated by an oil blockade imposed under former US president Donald Trump.
US officials also met last month with Raúl Castro’s grandson, Raúl Guillermo Rodríguez Castro, who holds no official role but remains influential.
