Cuba's president confirms secret U.S. talks amid economic crisis, but no deals made.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel confirmed that recent talks have occurred between Cuba and the United States aimed at resolving longstanding differences, marking a rare public acknowledgment of diplomatic engagement. The discussions, which took place amid a deepening economic crisis in Cuba and heightened U.S. pressure, were described as constructive but yielded no immediate agreements. The U.S. government has not officially confirmed the meetings, and details about participants, timing, or outcomes remain scarce. The developments come as regional allies have distanced themselves from Cuba, and speculation persists about broader shifts in U.S. foreign policy toward Latin America.
