Cuba’s UN ambassador blasts U.S. sanctions as counterproductive, asking why Washington keeps tightening the grip despite Havana’s bold economic reforms — including opening doors to private investment, something the U.S. has long demanded. Instead of lifting penalties, America targets key sectors like mining and construction, worsening Cuba’s energy crisis, supply shortages, and tourism decline. Experts suspect the U.S. doesn’t want Cuba’s economy to thrive — it wants systemic change. With Venezuela’s backing gone, Cuba pushed faster than in decades, but U.S. pressure continues to stifle progress. While talks are ongoing, the ambassador insists U.S. policy remains hostile, turning reform into a Catch-22.
