Leer en espa\u00f1ol<\/a><\/p>\nHernandez, a Versailles regular, said he trusts that President Donald Trump will prompt the change that Cuban Americans have hoped for. <\/p>\n
Hernandez said State Secretary Marco Rubio, whose parents were born in Cuba, was the best man to lead the ongoing talks. <\/p>\n
\u201c\u00a1Plomo!\u201d Hernandez said in Spanish, \u201cLead! That\u2019s it,\u201d Hernandez said about his hope that the U.S. Navy Seals will oust the communist regime. <\/p>\n
Yohanis Delabat said Cuban Americans have been waiting 67 years and it\u2019s time to get rid of Cuban President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel and \u201call these little goons that are left on the island.\u201d Rick Amaro agrees. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey have been oppressing the Cuban people for too long,\u201d Amaro said. <\/p>\n
In a national address on Friday, D\u00edaz-Canel said U.S.-Cuba talks \u201cwere aimed at finding solutions\u201d amid an energy crisis. <\/p>\n
After halting oil shipments from Venezuela, Trump announced on Jan. 11 that U.S.-Cuba talks were ongoing. <\/p>\n
Trump later said a \u201cfriendly takeover\u201d was a possibility, and Rubio was leading the negotiations. <\/p>\n
D\u00edaz-Canel said two power plants on the island closed, and power outages are affecting transportation, health services, and education. <\/p>\n
On Thursday, Cuban officials announced the release of 51 prisoners, but did not identify them. D\u00edaz-Canel said they had demonstrated good behavior. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a sovereign practice, no one imposes it on us,\u201d D\u00edaz-Canel said.<\/p>\n
Also, D\u00edaz-Canel said Cuban law enforcement will allow the FBI on the island to investigate the fatal shooting at sea that involved a Florida-registered boat. <\/p>\n
In Miami\u2019s Little Havana, Amaro said Trump and Rubio are also busy with the conflict with Iran, but once it ends, he expects action on Cuba. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey will turn the guns over to Cuba, and they will resolve that problem,\u201d Amaro said. <\/p>\n
