Diplomat Carlos de Cossio says US fuel embargo harms Cuba’s medical services, food production and standard of living.
Cuban diplomat Carlos de Cossio has condemned the US fuel embargo as a form of collective punishment, asserting it severely impacts transportation, medical services, and food production in Cuba. With reliance on Venezuelan oil disrupted, Cuba has sought fuel from Mexico, which halted supplies following US threats of tariffs. The Trump administration aims to destabilize the Cuban government, viewing it as a threat, while Havana expresses a willingness for diplomatic engagement. Cuban leaders maintain their resolve against US pressure, emphasizing their readiness to defend their sovereignty.
