- •Diaz-Canel stated Cuba is ready for dialogue based on sovereign equality and mutual respect, but not under hostility, threats, or economic pressure.
- •Cuba accuses the US of 66 years of invasion and is prepared to defend itself, while facing severe fuel shortages after Venezuelan oil supply ceased.
