The Trump admin's Cuba policy remains trapped in the past.

More sanctions, more isolation, more suffering—but no serious plan to empower the Cuban people or prevent state collapse in our own hemisphere.

Lift the oil blockade. Reverse 6 decades of failed policy.

RM @RepGregoryMeeks: The future of Colombia must be decided by the Colombian people—not Donald Trump or any foreign government trying to tip the scales.

"If President Donald Trump continues to destabilize the country through economic strangulation or launches a war that few US voters appear to want, this [security] bulwark could give way to something far worse for US interests." 👇

They say Cuban Americans want a war on Cuba. In their own words, Cuban Americans across the country are saying no to sanctions and war and yes to engagement. #NoWarOnCuba #LetCubaLive

A sitting US senator spreading fake news claiming Fujimori won in Peru 🇵🇪 when the votes haven't been counted and Fujimori herself says there's no decision yet. Horrendous.

What Gladys is doing here is incredibly brave. Living in Miami, she faces a community where breaking with the hardline still gets you branded a traitor or a communist, where it can cost you your old friends and your standing. She does it anyway.

🇨🇺 Major international companies are rushing to exit Cuba ahead of a June 5 deadline imposed under President Trump’s new secondary sanctions regime targeting GAESA, the military-run conglomerate that the U.S. government says controls at least 40% of Cuba’s economy.

🔹 Canadian hotel giant Blue Diamond is withdrawing from Cuba entirely, ending operations at 62 hotels across the island and abandoning one of the country’s largest tourism networks.

🔹 Spanish hotel operators are pulling back. Iberostar has reportedly ended management agreements tied to GAESA, while Meliá, Cuba’s largest foreign hotel operator, has cut its operations roughly in half after reporting a 68% drop in profits.

🔹 Canadian mining giant Sherritt International—one of Cuba's largest foreign investors— indefinitely suspended direct participation on the island following U.S. sanctions against its joint-venture partner, Moa Nickel S.A. Sherritt initially moved to dissolve the partnership entirely, but reversed course on May 19, opting to maintain a freeze on operations while exploring alternative options.

🔹 Global shipping firms CMA CGM and Hapag-Lloyd have suspended cargo bookings to and from Cuba, a move that could affect roughly 60% of the island’s maritime shipping traffic.

🔹 Airlines including Air Canada and Russia’s Rossiya have suspended service amid collapsing tourism and worsening fuel shortages.

Under Trump’s May 1 executive order, foreign companies, banks, and individuals that continue doing business with GAESA after June 5 risk U.S. sanctions themselves, including potential exclusion from the U.S. financial system. Faced with that threat, many firms are choosing to leave Cuba altogether.

Trump’s 2nd term: war on Cubans in Cuba and the U.S.

Cuban green card approvals cut 99.8%, ICE arrests of Cubans up 463%, 4,300+ Cubans deported to Mexico.

They call it standing with Cubans. The numbers show a war on Cuban families.

Today, Cubans rallied in Miami against the maximum pressure policy and a US military aggression against Cuba. The participants defended peace and the right of the Cuban people to decide our own destiny.

cuba was also one of the first countries to offer aid after hurricane katrina, offering to send nearly 1,600 doctors and 26 tons of medicine. the united states refused.

After decades of an economic siege on the island, Trump is escalating U.S. aggression against Cuba: military surveillance, charges against Raúl Castro, threats to “do something” about Cuba, and the USS Nimitz in the Caribbean.
Cuban Americans say: NO WAR ON CUBA.
