Diplomatic tension: Cuba accuses the US of bad faith in talks

In reports published today, May 21, 2026, the Cuban ambassador to the UN expressed deep doubts regarding the intentions of the United States concerning the political talks between the two countries. According to the ambassador, Havana is expressing a willingness to discuss changes to its governmental and economic structure and argues that in these talks there are "no forbidden topics," as noted in reports by آخرین خبر and SNN.ir|Student News Agency.

However, the Cuban side is leveling sharp criticism at Washington. According to SNN.ir, the ambassador emphasized that Cuba doubts the "true intention of Washington." The focus of the criticism is American statements according to which the United States is "prepared to occupy Cuba," a move that Cuba defines as harmful rhetoric that does not contribute to the "negotiation and trust-building process."

Both sources, which are identified with critical positions toward American foreign policy, highlighted the ambassador's remarks that "the success of the talks requires behavior based on good faith and avoidance of tense rhetoric" according to a report by آخرین خبر.
