Cuba Signals Potential Economic Opening in Talks with Trump Administration

Cuban President Díaz-Canel announced that Cuba is in early discussions with the Trump administration that could lead to a historic economic opening, with talks aimed at resolving bilateral differences and addressing Cuba's energy needs amid a U.S. oil blockade. In a Vatican-brokered deal, Cuba plans to release 51 prisoners in the coming days, though it is unclear who will be freed. The White House has not commented, and analysts say the dialogue could mark Cuba's most significant economic shift since 1961, though exact goals and details remain unclear.
