Cuba’s president rejects calls to step down amid escalating tensions with Trump administration Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said he will not step down from office, rejecting suggestions that he should resign during an interview conducted in Havana in his first appearance with a U.S. broadcast network. When asked whether he would consider leaving office to help stabilize the country, Díaz-Canel pushed back sharply, saying Cuba’s leadership is not chosen by the United States and insisting the nation operates as a sovereign state. He added that stepping down “is not part of our vocabulary,” and defended Cuba’s political system as one based on domestic elections at the local level. The exchange comes amid heightened tensions between Havana and Washington, with the Trump administration increasing pressure on Cuba and openly calling for political change on the island. U.S. officials have described Cuba as facing deep economic challenges and have argued that reforms to its leadership and...

 Federal appeals court questions whether Sean 'Diddy' Combs’ four-year prison term for prostitution conviction is excessive

  

Federal appeals court judges on Thursday scrutinized the roughly four-year prison sentence handed to hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs for his conviction on prostitution-related charges, questioning whether it was excessively harsh. The three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan heard two hours of oral arguments but did not issue a ruling. Circuit Judge William J. Nardini described the case as “exceptionally difficult,” noting it raises legal questions of first impression for federal courts nationwide.

Judges focused on whether evidence tied to charges Combs was acquitted of—sex trafficking and racketeering—was improperly considered in determining his sentence. Combs’ attorney, Alexandra Shapiro, argued that the four-year, two-month term was the longest ever given for similar convictions and criminal histories. The government countered that the sentence fell below federal sentencing guidelines and aligned with similar cases in the 2nd Circuit. Combs, currently imprisoned in New Jersey, pleaded guilty last July under the federal Mann Act, which prohibits transporting individuals across state lines for sexual activity. He faces sentencing considerations on the basis of his conviction alone, although Judge Arun Subramanian cited legal provisions allowing a judge to consider a defendant’s background and character. Combs’ trial revealed private details of his life, including allegations of violence, drugs, and sexual performances, though he did not testify, and his defense maintained that prosecutors overreached in trying to criminalize his personal conduct.
