Cuba has admitted to holding "secret" meetings with the Trump administration after weeks of the president warning of a “friendly takeover” of the island nation. The post Cuba Admits to Having ‘Secret’ Talks With White House After Weeks of Trump Takeover Threats first appeared on Mediaite.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel says his government should “immediately” focus on implementing urgent transformations to the island’s economic and social model as oil reserves in the Caribbean country dwindle.

Cuba confirmed talks with the Trump administration amid economic crisis following Venezuela oil cutoff as President Miguel Díaz-Canel cites aim to resolve differences.

President Donald Trump once again warned of change coming to Cuba, adding that negotiations are occurring between the island nation and the U.S.

The comments come less than a week after Trump suggested that his administration would turn its sights on Havana.

The announcement was made just hours before Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel is scheduled to speak early Friday "to address national and international issues."
