American Airlines is now poised to become the first commercial airline to resume flights from Caracas to Miami with a daily, non-stop service.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel told NBC News’ Meet the Press that he would not step down in his first interview with a U.S. network, a portion of which was broadcast Thursday.

"To be housing ICE detainees in a detention camp in the middle of the Everglades … without making sure that they have enough access to nutritious food and the ability to sleep and have access to counsel — everything about this screams inhumane and unnecessary," U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, told reporters.

The United States has formally reopened its embassy in Caracas, Venezuela, after the restoration of full diplomatic relations with the South American country. It follows the Trump administration's ouster of then-President Nicolas Maduro in early January.

President Donald Trump says he has "no problem" with a Russian oil tanker off the coast of Cuba delivering relief to the island, which has been brought to its knees by a U.S. oil blockade. When asked if a New York Times report that the tanker would be allowed to reach Cuba was true, Trump said: "I told them, if a country wants to send some oil into Cuba right now, I have no problem whether it's Russia or not."

Organizers say more than 3,100 events, including more than two dozen in South Florida, from the Keys to Palm Beach County, have been registered in all 50 states, with more than 9 million people expected to participate.

As Cuba grapples with a crumbling power grid and heightened tensions with the Trump administration, Havana’s top diplomat said Sunday that the Cuban military is ready to defend itself against the U.S.

The rally comes at a time when President Trump and top administration officials have been pressing for dramatic change in Cuba and an end to its communist government.

The government turned down the request as the U.S. State Department has been weighing a reduction in staffing at the embassy in the Cuban capital of Havana because of the lack of diesel.

Senate Democrats have filed legislation that would prevent the U.S. from attacking Cuba without congressional approval. It's a move that comes in response to President Donald Trump’s stated goal of a “takeover” of the Caribbean country.

President Donald Trump has fired his embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The announcement came after Noem faced a two-day grilling on Capitol Hill from Republicans and Democrats and as Noem faced mounting criticism over her leadership of the Department of Homeland Security. Trump says he'll make Noem a "Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas."

“We cut off all oil, all money, or we cut off everything coming in from Venezuela, which was the sole source. And they want to make a deal,” Trump told POLITICO.
