Cuba Denies U.S. Talks After Trump Warning

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez has denied that his country has entered into negotiations with the United States. This statement directly contradicts a recent suggestion from former U.S. President Donald Trump. The denial follows a warning from Trump. He stated that Cuba should make a deal with the United States "before it is too late." Trump made this comment after the reported kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. President Díaz-Canel Bermúdez explicitly refuted the claim that talks had started. He confirmed there are currently no discussions taking place between the two nations. The U.S. and Cuba have had a tense relationship for decades. This exchange highlights the ongoing diplomatic freeze between them.
