Cuba's foreign minister says no negotiations despite "genocidal" blockade
Bruno Rodríguez said the blockade has cost Cuba $8.1 billion in 2025 and caused nationwide blackouts and health risks.
- On Monday, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez announced there are no active negotiations or future plans for talks with the United States, describing the ongoing trade embargo as "genocidal."
- Rodriguez stated the decades-old trade embargo caused $8.1 billion in economic damages to Cuba last year, a 7 percent increase from the previous year.
- Citizens on the island endure only 2 or 3 hours of electricity daily, resulting in spoiled food and extreme heat that makes sleeping impossible for families.
- The United Nations warned of a growing risk of disease outbreaks on the island, while the United States maintains sanctions are necessary to force government change.
- With diplomatic channels stalled, the State Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding Rodriguez's remarks, leaving little hope for near-term resolution.
