‘It’s the people who suffer’: Cubans decry US embargo extension

The United States has extended its trade embargo on Cuba for another year. This move is causing widespread frustration among Cubans who are already struggling with blackouts, fuel shortages, and soaring prices. The extension of the embargo means that the Cuban people will continue to bear the brunt of the economic restrictions, making it even harder for them to access essential goods and services.

Why it matters

The US embargo extension will continue to limit Cuba's access to foreign goods and services, exacerbating the country's economic struggles. This could lead to further shortages and price increases, affecting the Cuban people's standard of living.
