AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoU.S.-Cuba showdown talk heats up: Secretary of State Marco Rubio told a Senate panel there’s “no oil blockade on Cuba,” even as Cuba’s tourism collapses and airlines pull out—while Cuba’s foreign minister warns the pressure campaign could end in “bloodshed.” Energy crisis on the ground: In Havana, residents in Luyanó staged a pot-banging protest and blocked Concha Avenue as blackouts suffocated daily life; Cuba’s power availability is reported far below demand. Escalation signals: Reports say U.S. surveillance flights near Cuba have surged, and Trump aides are reportedly debating how fast the regime could fall. Diplomacy vs. pressure: Cuba’s Deputy FM Carlos Fernández de Cossío calls supporters of U.S. intervention “accomplices,” while Mexico keeps sending humanitarian aid ships—without oil—despite new U.S. sanctions. Older thread, sharper contrast: The week’s coverage keeps circling the same contradiction: Washington denies blockade effects, while Cubans describe shortages, job losses, and wasted food from outages.
