'Eliminating Energy Blockade Top Priority' As Cuba Confirms Direct Talks With US Cuba confirmed on April 20 that it recently held direct talks with U.S. officials in Havana, marking a rare diplomatic engagement as tensions persist over Washington’s long-standing economic restrictions on the communist nation. Alejandro Garcia del Toro, deputy director general for U.S. affairs at Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in remarks published on April 20 by Cuban Communist Party newspaper Granma that discussions were underway. “This is a delicate matter which, as we have already said, we are handling discreetly,” Garcia del Toro said. He confirmed that “a meeting between Cuban and U.S. delegations recently took place here in Cuba,” adding that U.S. participants included undersecretaries of state, while Cuba’s delegation was led at the deputy minister level. “During the meeting, neither party set deadlines or made coercive statements, as reported by the US press. All information exchange was conducted with respect and professionalism,” he said. As Evgenia Filimianova reports for The Epoch Times, Cuba framed the discussions as heavily focused on easing U.S. economic pressure, particularly restrictions affecting energy supplies. “Eliminating the energy blockade against the country was a matter of top priority for our delegation,” Garcia del Toro said. He described the policy as “an unjustified punishment for the entire Cuban population” and called it “a form of global blackmail against sovereign states.” The dispute reflects broader economic strains on the island, where rolling blackouts and fuel shortages have intensified public hardship in recent months. Cuba’s energy crisis has become a central issue in its relations with Washington, as the government seeks relief from sanctions that limit access to fuel imports. A main supplier, Venezuela, has curtailed oil shipments to Cuba since the United States captured dictator Nicolás Maduro in January. The talks come as the Trum...
