00:00These people are banging on pots and pans in Havana to protest the widespread blackout that has left 10 million
00:06without power.
00:08In the context of the energy crisis and the three-month U.S. oil blockade,
00:12the Cuban government has announced that it will open itself to foreign investment from Cubans in diaspora.
00:20We are talking about the possibility of allowing Cubans who reside abroad,
00:24even if they do not hold actual residency in Cuba, to participate in or own private companies in Cuba.
00:33One of the sectors available to backing would be the country's energy infrastructure,
00:37which is in dire need of updating.
00:39The move is a source of hope for some residents.
00:45If it is an opening to North American capital, it is welcome,
00:49because everything that is for development is good.
00:53If they want to come and make an investment here to help the country's economy,
00:57I don't think that should be a problem at all.
01:01Those part of the largest population of Cubans in diaspora in Miami are less enthusiastic.
01:07You can't do business under communism.
01:11I think we do want to invest there, but only once there is economic and political change.
01:18According to U.S. President Donald Trump, that change could come soon.
01:21I do believe I'll be the honor of having the honor of taking Cuba.
01:28That's a big honor.
01:30Taking Cuba.
01:31Taking Cuba, in some form, yeah.
01:33Taking Cuba.
01:34I mean, whether I free it, take it, I think I can do anything I want with it.
01:39You want to know the truth.
01:40They're a very weakened nation.
01:43A U.S. official and a source privy to the ongoing talks between Havana and Washington
01:48confirmed on Tuesday that the Trump administration is looking for the Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel
01:54to leave power, but did not offer details on who the U.S. would want to see in his position.
