Four sources say the Trump administration views the hard-liner Díaz-Canel, handpicked by Raúl Castro, as blocking economic reforms and prisoner releases they want from Cuba. Talks aim to gradually open the island's economy to U.S. businesses while keeping Castro family influence intact through a possible figurehead successor. Cuban leaders acknowledge issues but resist U.S.-dictated change, as the nation's crisis deepens without an official ultimatum from Washington.

Key Takeaway

Amid Cuba's blackouts and fuel shortages, U.S. officials quietly told Havana that President Díaz-Canel must go for real progress in negotiations.

The Nigeria Football Federation protested DR Congo's 1-1 penalty win in the African playoff final on November 16, 2025, in Rabat, claiming ineligible players due to passport issues.

NFF's Dr. Mohammed Sanusi vowed an appeal, possibly to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, as DR Congo advances to intercontinental playoffs in Mexico on March 31. Both teams faced fines for fan chaos like thrown bottles and lasers during the match.

Key Takeaway

Nigeria's Super Eagles saw their 2026 World Cup dreams slip away in a tense penalty shootout, only to pin last hopes on a protest that FIFA just shut down cold.
