HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said on Wednesday the election of U.S. President Donald Trump meant more of the same for Cuba and said his communist-run government does not fear its northern neighbor.

"The results of these elections are nothing new for us," Diaz-Canel told state-run media on a visit to a town in Cuba's Cienfuegos province. "The country is ready. We will continue on, without fear, trusting that with our own effort, with our own talent, we can get ahead."
