They tell you Cuba is a "threat". But what does our "threat" actually look like? 🤔
🥼 Medicine over Munitions
📚 Education over Escalation
🎻 Culture over Conflict
🕊️ A nation dedicated to peace, solidarity and life over destruction.

The #US oil blockade directly impacts the supply of food and medicine in #Cuba. The entire population is punished, without exception, with the declared intention of provoking a social outburst.
Two examples illustrate it:
The 15 thousand tons of rice donated by the Party, the Government, and the People of China could not be immediately transported to each province due to disruptions related to cargo transportation.
The lack of fuel prevents nearly 50% of the medicines produced in Cuba in recent months from being distributed throughout the country.
The energy siege is real. Anyone who claims otherwise is lying.

The U.S. Secretary of State consistently and deliberately misrepresents the figures and Cuba’s response regarding the amounts of aid announced by his government since November 2025.
Since the first announcement, Cuba’s position has remained unchanged: our government neither rejects nor obstructs aid offered without conditions, however cynical and ridiculous it may seem.
It took them more than six months to finalize the delivery of the first aid package, valued at $3 million. It took nearly four months to send a portion of the $6 million that had been announced.
How long might it take them to deliver the $100 million? What can $100 million possibly mean, when their economic blockade and energy blockade cause annual losses of more than $5 billion?
The Secretary of State and his Department have no real interest in delivering this aid in the short term. So many lies and delays only demonstrate the purely propagandistic nature of these announcements.
Wouldn’t it be more humanitarian to lift the illegal energy blockade?
El Secretario de Estado de #EEUU confunde constantemente, con total intención, las cifras y la respuesta de #Cuba sobre los montos de ayuda anunciados por su gobierno desde noviembre de 2025.
Desde el primer anuncio, la posición cubana se ha mantenido invariable: nuestro Gobierno no rechaza ni obstaculiza la ayuda que se ofrece sin condicionamientos, por muy cínica y ridícula que esta parezca.
Les tomó más de 6 meses concretar el envío total de la primera ayuda valorada en 3 millones de USD. Cerca de 4 meses, enviar una parte de los 6 millones de USD anunciados.
¿Cuánto podría tomarles concretar la de los 100 millones de USD? ¿Qué pueden significar 100 millones de USD, cuando su bloqueo económico y el cerco energético provocan afectaciones anuales de más de 5 mil millones de USD?
El Secretario de Estado y su Departamento carecen de interés real en concretar esas ayudas en el corto plazo. Tanta mentira y demora sólo demuestran el marcado carácter propagandístico de esos anuncios.
¿Acaso no sería más humanitario levantar el ilegal cerco energético?

🇨🇺📍Statements by the Cuban President on priorities for overcoming the current situation
Reducing Bureaucracy:
“There is a significant reduction, not only in the number of ministries, but also in the number of positions... so that we have a state, a government, and organizations with less bureaucracy that are more dynamic.”
Wage Reform and Subsidies:
"Budget savings will be allocated to “supporting wage reform, which we must implement as quickly as possible, particularly in the public sector.” Additionally, progress will be made in “eliminating product subsidies to gradually implement subsidies for individuals.”
Tourism and Real Estate:
“Moving toward new models, with new players... we are managing businesses in the real estate and tourism sectors, with new models and with other players who are not the ones who have traditionally been in these fields.”
Youth Protection:
“How do we protect [young human capital] through wages, how do we protect them with incentives, so that these young people do not have to pursue opportunities abroad and have the conditions and opportunities to contribute here to the development of their country.”

"Cuba has been able – precisely because of the kind of system of government we have – to prevent collapse."
Johana Tablada, deputy chief of mission at the Cuban Embassy in Mexico City, explains why Washington’s tightening sanctions regime against Havana won’t succeed in bringing down the island nation.
“It reveals a tremendous ignorance of our history.”

Quienes sostienen en el gobierno de #EEUU que el estado precario del sistema electroenergético cubano es culpa de nuestro Gobierno, mienten para ocultar el crimen que cometen contra el pueblo de #Cuba.
Vayamos a los hechos:
Los memorandos presidenciales NSPM-5 de 2017 y 2026 establecen el estrangulamiento y la persecución financiera y comercial como centro de la asfixia contra Cuba. La guerra económica se reforzó con la reinclusión de la Isla en la unilateral lista de supuestos Estados patrocinadores del terrorismo en enero de 2021 y posteriormente en enero de 2025. Nos han convertido en un país de “riesgo” para cualquier transacción, negocio e inversión extranjera.
En 2023, una empresa europea canceló la venta de repuestos para turbinas de generación, por miedo a sanciones de EEUU, a pesar de que Cuba tenía el financiamiento.
En 2025, una empresa de un país amigo negó la asistencia técnica para poner en funcionamiento una pieza imprescindible de la termoeléctrica de Cienfuegos, porque contenía más de un 10% de componentes de origen estadounidense.
Técnicos de empresas contratadas para dar asistencia han decidido no viajar a Cuba, incluso estando ya en el aeropuerto de origen, debido a las amenazas y presiones.
La Orden Ejecutiva 14380 del presidente de EEUU del 29 de enero de 2026 autorizó la imposición de aranceles punitivos contra las importaciones procedentes de países que, directa o indirectamente, suministren petróleo a Cuba.
Antes del cerco energético, buques petroleros que transportaban combustible a Cuba eran amenazados con multas, embargo de activos, la exclusión del sistema financiero global, e incluso con la interceptación en alta mar y la confiscación de su carga.
A todo ello, se suma que 40 bancos extranjeros se han negado a operar con Cuba, bloqueando 140 transferencias bancarias, muchas de ellas relacionadas con pagos para la compra de tecnología solar o eólica.
Dato mata relato.
El sistema eléctrico cubano no es víctima de la desidia. Es víctima de una guerra atroz. Quien la ejecuta de forma deliberada, sabe perfectamente el daño que hace a la población y se esconde tras la fachada de la mentira y la propaganda.

"Those in the #US government who claim that the poor state of Cuba’s power grid is our government’s fault are lying to hide the crime they are committing against the people of #Cuba.
Let’s look at the facts:
Presidential memoranda NSPM-5 of 2017 and 2026 establish financial and commercial strangulation and persecution as the core of the suffocation campaign against Cuba. The economic war was reinforced by the re-inclusion of the island on the unilateral list of so-called state sponsors of terrorism in January 2021 and again in January 2025. They have turned us into a “high-risk” country for any transaction, business deal, or foreign investment.
In 2023, a European company canceled the sale of spare parts for power generation turbines out of fear of U.S. sanctions, even though Cuba had the financing.
In 2025, a company from a friendly country denied technical assistance to commission a critical component of the Cienfuegos thermoelectric plant because it contained more than 10% of U.S.-origin components.
Technicians from companies contracted to provide assistance have decided not to travel to Cuba, even after arriving at their departure airport, due to threats and pressure.
Executive Order 14380 issued by the U.S. President on January 29, 2026, authorized the imposition of punitive tariffs on imports from countries that, directly or indirectly, supply oil to Cuba.
Before the energy blockade, oil tankers transporting fuel to Cuba were threatened with fines, asset freezes, exclusion from the global financial system, and even interception on the high seas and confiscation of their cargo.
On top of all this, 40 foreign banks have refused to do business with Cuba, blocking 140 bank transfers, many of them related to payments for the purchase of solar or wind technology.
Facts speak louder than words.
The Cuban electrical system is not a victim of neglect. It is a victim of a brutal war. Those who deliberately wage this war are fully aware of the harm it inflicts on the population and hide behind a facade of lies and propaganda."
