Members of the Cuban regime ambushed the United States Ambassador in Havana for the third time on February 1, 2026, between 9:15 PM and 9:45 PM UTC, despite a State Department warning, according to an X post by Agus Antonetti published in the reporting window. The X post states the Cuban regime is 'playing with fire' following the State Department's warning, marking the third such attempt against the ambassador amid ongoing US-Cuba tensions. This incident follows a prior reported attempt between 8:16 PM and 9:15 PM UTC, as detailed in an earlier report citing the same source. President Donald Trump confirmed at 7:00 PM UTC on February 1, 2026, that negotiations are underway with high-ranking Cuban officials, stating 'We are talking to the highest levels in Cuba. Let's see what happens' and 'I think we are going to reach an agreement with Cuba,' per Agus Antonetti's X post. No further details on the specific timing, precise location, or outcomes of the latest ambush were provided in the new X post.
