Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel called on the United States to engage in dialogue without demanding political changes in Havana, in an interview with NBC News. This statement comes amid still-strained relations between the two countries.
According to Miguel Díaz-Canel, Cuba asked the president's administration Donald Trump to open discussions without preconditions, particularly without demanding a transformation of the Cuban political system. This position reflects the Cuban government's consistent stance in the face of American pressure.
The head of state also emphasized the legitimacy of his power, asserting that his leadership was based on a mandate from the Cuban people. He rejected any suggestion of challenging the existing regime.
"The idea that revolutionaries could give up and resign is not part of our vocabulary," he said, emphasizing the determination of Cuban authorities to maintain their political orientation.
This stance illustrates the persistent differences between Washington and Havana, particularly on issues of governance and political rights. The United States has consistently made any potential rapprochement contingent on internal reforms in Cuba.
Despite these tensions, the call for dialogue could be interpreted as an attempt at diplomatic openness, in an international context marked by multiple crises.
However, the lack of compromise on the conditions for negotiation leaves uncertainty about the possibility of an effective resumption of discussions between the two countries.
