Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva expressed disapproval of the US administration’s involvement in the internal affairs of Cuba and Venezuela. During the 46th anniversary event of the Workers’ Party in Salvador, Bahia state, he voiced solidarity with the Cuban people, condemning what he described as a massacre instigated by US speculation. Lula da Silva emphasized the need for the Venezuelan issue to be resolved by its people, not by the United States or President Trump.
The White House responded to skepticism from Cuban leaders regarding US-Cuba talks, affirming President Trump’s openness to diplomacy. Despite Cuban leader Miguel Diaz-Canel’s conditions for dialogue with the US, the White House hinted at ongoing engagement. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt cautioned Cuba about its statements towards the US, suggesting that the country is facing collapse. She reiterated Trump’s diplomatic stance and claimed that engagement with the Cuban government is currently underway.
