2:09Now PlayingCuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel confirmed Friday that his government is in talks with the US — after President Trump floated a “friendly takeover” of the Communist island.
“These talks have been aimed at finding solutions through dialogue to the bilateral differences we have between the two nations,” Díaz-Canel said in a televised statement. “International factors that have facilitated these exchanges.”
He added that the talks are being conducted “on the basis of equality and respect for both countries’ political systems, sovereignty, and self-determination of our governments.”
