Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel says his government has held recent talks with the U.S., marking the first time the Caribbean country confirms such speculations. He said Friday that the talks were aimed at finding solutions to differences between the two nations. Díaz-Canel said no petroleum shipments have arrived on the island in the past three months, which he blamed on a U.S. energy blockade. Cuba ’s western region was hit by a massive blackout last week, leaving millions without power.
