The Trump administration is reportedly working to remove Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel from power during ongoing diplomatic negotiations between the United States and Cuba. According to sources familiar with the matter, the White House is exploring various options, including escalating economic sanctions and supporting dissident groups, in an effort to force a change in leadership in Havana.
The move comes as the two countries have been engaged in a series of talks aimed at normalizing relations, which had deteriorated significantly under the previous administration. President Díaz-Canel, who assumed office in 2018, has been a key figure in these negotiations, seeking to find a way to ease tensions and improve economic and diplomatic ties between the longtime adversaries.
