HAVANA: Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said Monday that his administration is not in talks with the US government, a day after President Donald Trump threatened the Caribbean island in the wake of the US attack on Venezuela. Díaz-Canel posted a flurry of brief statements on X after Trump suggested that Cuba “make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.” He did not say what kind of deal.

Trump has been turning his attention to Cuba since US forces seized Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Cuba should strike a deal with Washington, ramping up pressure on the longtime U.S. nemesis.
