Cuban President Defiant Against U.S.

In an exclusive interview with NBC’s 'Meet the Press,' Díaz-Canel stressed that Cuba has no valid reason to be attacked or for its leadership to be deposed.

He expressed openness to dialogue and U.S. investment in oil exploration but refused to commit to releasing political prisoners.

The president's stance comes as the Trump administration increases pressure for a change in leadership.

Representative Pramila Jayapal, who recently visited Cuba, called the U.S. oil blockade 'outrageous' and urged formal negotiations.
