Us Cuba Relations

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said Friday the United States "has failed in its efforts to destroy Cuba," after Joe Biden called the island nation "a failed state."

The United States is considering returning Cuba to its list of state sponsors of terrorism, a senior Trump administration official told Reuters on Thursday, a move that would mark another major blow to increasingly tense relations between Washington and Havana.

Cuba's Communist government is prepared if the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump decides to sever diplomatic relations although it hopes that does not come to pass, a top Cuban diplomat said on Monday.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said Sunday his government wants a "civilized" relationship with the United States despite the embargo imposed on the island by the US since 1962

Cuba's president said Donald Trump's hardline stance towards the country was a "setback" in relations with the United States after ties were gradually restored in 2015.

Russia's foreign ministry on Sunday said it regretted US President Donald Trump's policy reversal on Cuba, calling it reminiscent of the Cold War era.

Cuban President Raul Castro harshly criticised US President Donald Trump's immigration, trade and other policies on Sunday as Mr Trump reviews a fragile detente with Communist-run Cuba begun by his predecessor Barack Obama.

US President Barack Obama has ended a two-decade-old "wet foot, dry foot" immigration policy that allowed Cuban migrants who reached US soil illegally to stay and become legal residents after a year, a significant step towards normalising relations with its former Cold War foe.

Cuba and the United States agreed on Monday to jointly prevent, contain and clean up oil and other toxic spills in the Gulf of Mexico, as they rush to conclude deals before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

Fidel Castro spent his life combating US capitalism, but by the time he died, American cruise ships, regular flights and even the embassy had returned to the communist-ruled island.

As President-elect Donald Trump threatened to "terminate" the detente policy with Cuba, the White House today warned that reversing historic rapprochement would have "significant" diplomatic, economic and cultural costs.

The death of Cuba's Fidel Castro is unlikely to slow down U.S. efforts to normalise relations with its Cold War enemy, the White House said on Monday, pointing to the economic impact of the diplomatic thaw already underway such as commercial flights and other growing ties.

US President-elect Donald Trump said in a tweet on Monday he would end the United States' "deal" with Cuba unless a better one was made, reflecting his campaign pledge to reverse President Barack Obama's moves to open relations with the Cold War adversary.

President Barack Obama said that the United States is extending "a hand of friendship to the Cuban people" at the time of Fidel Castro's death.

President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday weighed in on the death of Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, tweeting simply "Fidel Castro is dead!"
