Donald Trump has said the U.S. is talking to Cuba, its leaders should agree to a deal and that could easily be done, a White House official said on Friday, reiterating the U.S. president’s previous remarks after Havana confirmed that negotiations were under way.
Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said earlier that his government had opened talks with Washington, as an oil blockade imposed by Trump pushes the Communist-run nation deeper into economic crisis.
“As the President stated, we are talking to Cuba, whose leaders should make a deal, which he believes ‘would be very easily made’,” the White House official said, on condition of anonymity.
Diaz-Canel said in a video aired on state television that negotiations “have been aimed at finding solutions through dialogue to the bilateral differences we have between the two nations.”
