2 I asked GROK about what the Cuban President said today: This is the AI's response:
On March 13, 2026, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel made a significant public statement during a televised address and press conference with national and international media. He confirmed that Cuban officials have recently held talks with representatives of the United States government amid escalating economic pressures, particularly a severe fuel and oil blockade imposed under the Trump administration, which has prevented any petroleum shipments from entering Cuba for the past three months.Key points from his statements include:The talks were led by him, along with former President Raúl Castro and other Communist Party members (he did not name U.S. participants).
The purpose is "to find solutions through dialogue to the bilateral differences" between the two nations, identify problems needing resolution based on severity and impact, and determine mutual willingness for concrete actions benefiting both peoples.
He emphasized conducting discussions "on the basis of equality and respect for the political systems of both states, and for the sovereignty and self-determination of our governments," moving away from confrontation.
"International factors" (or "international actors") have facilitated these exchanges.
He described the energy crisis's "tremendous" impact, including reduced productive activity, labor adjustments (prioritizing worker protection and salaries over outright interruptions), and the need for adaptive changes rather than just blackouts—shifting to other essential tasks.
Education and higher education remain priorities for the revolution; schools will reopen when conditions allow.
He highlighted Cuba's adaptability and unity as strengths for overcoming challenges.

This marks the first official Cuban acknowledgment of such contacts, following leaks and speculation in U.S. media. He also announced the release of 51 prisoners (brokered partly by the Vatican, per some reports) as a related goodwill gesture.No official update appears on the presidency website (presidencia.gob.cu) for March 13 yet, but the address was widely covered in real-time by outlets like CNN, Reuters, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, AP, and Cuban state media. His X account (@DiazCanelB
) and related posts reference the remarks on U.S. relations. The context is Cuba's deepening economic crisis, with no fuel imports exacerbating blackouts and shortages.
