Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has confirmed secret talks with the U.S. government amid Cuba's worsening energy and economic crises. The discussions, involving U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Raúl Castro’s grandson, centered on resolving bilateral tensions and finding areas of cooperation. The talks surfaced as the island suffers from a lack of petroleum shipments, allegedly due to a U.S. energy blockade, leading to blackouts, power plant shutdowns, and disruptions in healthcare, transportation, and daily life.
Senate Democrats have introduced a war powers resolution aimed at restricting President Donald Trump from launching military action against Cuba without congressional authorization. The resolution, filed by Senators Tim Kaine, Ruben Gallego, and Adam Schiff, seeks to affirm Congress’s constitutional authority to declare war and demands the president pull back from any hostilities with Cuba. This legislative move is a response to Trump’s recent indications of a potential “takeover” of Cuba amid ongoing U.S. foreign policy tensions and the island's severe energy crisis, worsened by a U.S. blockade.
