What happened
Danny Valdez traveled to Cuba with a delegation from the DSA International Committee in October 2023. During the trip, Valdez met with President Miguel Diaz-Canel. Valdez stated the delegation's purpose was to partner with the Cuban government to end the US embargo, which has been in place since 1962. During the meeting, President Diaz-Canel complained about the US-imposed blockade, noting that countries like Vietnam and China are not under similar conditions.

Why it matters
The discussion of the US embargo relates directly to the economic conditions of Cuba. President Diaz-Canel highlighted the negative impact of the blockade on the nation's operations. Valdez noted that the meeting was seen as a sign that the Cuban government viewed the delegation as potential partners in ending the US blockade.
Fidel Castro established a communist regime in Cuba, coinciding with Pol Pot abolishing private property and Abdul El-Sayed being linked to top radicals.
