Reporting from The Daily News Now, I'm Corey with the story with the latest global headlines. President Donald Trump is sending mixed messages about Cuba, talking both dialogue and tough action against the long-time rival. The U.S. has hit the island with an oil blockade after capturing Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro, Cuba's main backer. Trump even suggested he could take over the country, calling it possibly friendly or not. Others are high between the neighbors, but both governments say talks are underway. Trump ramped up the rhetoric this week, hinting at dealing with Cuba after Iran. Meanwhile, Cuban state media pushes military readiness through civilian training drills under their all-people defense plan. On Havana streets, everyday Cuban's voice hope for negotiation over conflict. A 50-year-old state worker said people just want peace, while a 55-year-old stressed dialogue like in Post-Maduro Venezuela. Folks blamed the decades-long U.S. economic blockade now worse with fuel shortages blocking

ships. Younger residents like a 26-year-old support talks but distressed Trump personally, a 58-year-old highlighted how the 60-year sanctions stifled development leaving no room for growth amid the fuel crisis. Overall, Cuban's prefers sitting down at the table to resolve deep differences despite skepticism over Trump's track record of flip-flops. The situation stays tense as discussions continue.
