- Cuba’s foreign minister said contacts with the United States have yielded no progress or defined action plan after the energy blockade.
- Havana remains open to continuing dialogue without preconditions, while U.S. sanctions have deepened a five-year crisis marked by blackouts and pressure on health and education.
Cuba says its contacts with the United States have yet to produce even a basic road map. The island’s foreign minister reported no progress and no defined action plan following dialogue held after what the source describes as an energy blockade.
Despite the lack of movement, Havana says it remains open to continuing talks without preconditions. The position leaves the channels of communication open while underscoring the absence of a concrete agreement or next step.
The source links the talks to the wider impact of U.S. sanctions, saying they have caused record losses for Cuba. Those sanctions have compounded a crisis that has lasted five years, with repeated blackouts affecting daily life as well as health and education.
Cuba has also approved economic reforms independently, separate from the stalled contacts with Washington.
There is no road map.
