What happened

Well supportedReported by 13 independent outlets

Cuba's Permanent Representative stated that the United States' blockade and energy siege are steadily intensifying and causing shortages of essential goods and services in Cuban households. An Ambassador from Cuba reported that the reinforced economic blockade and energy siege have led to the national power system losing around 1,400 megawatts daily.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The coercive measures are reported to have paralyzed tourism due to a lack of aviation fuel and pressure on hotel companies. Furthermore, the lack of power and fuel is disrupting agricultural production and industry in Cuba.

The United States previously imposed an oil blockade and sanctions on Cuba while simultaneously exploring possible improvements in bilateral relations.
