U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday (April 13) that the U.S. may "stop by" Cuba after its current focus on tensions with Iran concludes.
Last week, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel told NBC News that the country has asked Trump's administration to engage in dialogue without demanding changes from Cuba's political system or imposing other conditions, the network said on Thursday.
In the interview with NBC News' Kristen Welker, he also said that his leadership is tied to a mandate from the Cuban people.
