An international humanitarian convoy named 'Nuestra America' has arrived in Cuba as the island endures a worsening humanitarian crisis fueled by a U.S.-imposed oil blockade since January 2026.
Carlos Fernández de Cossío, viceministro de Exteriores de Cuba, declaró que las fuerzas armadas del país se están preparando para un posible ataque militar de Estados Unidos, aunque considera que tal escenario no es probable.
In a dramatic escalation of U.S.–Cuba tensions, the Trump administration is poised for a potential confrontation over a Russian oil shipment bound for Cuba, amid an intensified strategy to force political change on the island.
