Cuba's President Miguel Díaz-Canel announced that the government is expecting a visit from the FBI to assist in investigating a recent incident involving a rapid boat from the U.S. loaded with weapons. This incident resulted in the deaths of 10 individuals and has raised significant concerns regarding armed conflicts linked to U.S. activities. Díaz-Canel acknowledged for the first time the existence of contacts with the U.S. government, framing the incident as part of a broader context of terrorism financed and organized from U.S. territory. The Cuban government claims that the rapid boat opened fire on Cuban border agents, prompting a response that led to the fatalities. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum expressed support for the dialogue between Cuba and the U.S., emphasizing the importance of peace and humanitarian aid. She highlighted Mexico's commitment to supporting the Cuban people and addressing historical injustices stemming from the U.S. embargo. The Cuban government has faced accusations of misrepresenting the nature of humanitarian aid received from Mexico, with claims that it was being sold rather than distributed appropriately. This has been countered by evidence of gratitude from the Cuban populace for the aid provided.
