Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, foreign minister of Cuba, said on Thursday in a post on the social media platform X that the economic blockade imposed by the United States on Cuba is "destructive," rendering economic losses of seven billion U.S. dollars in just one year from March 2024 to February 2025.
Rodriguez stressed in the post that despite 67 years of blockade, Cuba, with its political, economic, and social system's resilience, has allocated its limited resources based on priorities and coped with adverse situations in an organized manner.
On Jan 29, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order threatening to impose tariffs on goods exported to the United States from countries supplying oil to Cuba. The Cuban government has announced a series of measures, including fuel purchase restrictions, in response to the new round of U.S. oil blockade.
The oil blockade has pushed many Cubans, including those in the capital Havana, to deal with cooking gas shortages by resorting to a rustic charcoal stove to cook meals.
Luisa Ensenat, a Havana resident, said it takes time to light the charcoal, but once it burns, the meal can be cooked.
"This is just one way we Cubans find to solve the situation; we are always ready to take steps forward to push our projects," she said.
