Trump extends Cuba blockade until September 2027

US President Donald Trump has signed a memorandum extending the embargo on Cuba until September 2027, citing the US national interest. The Cuban government has strongly condemned the decision, with Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez calling it a "genocidal policy" that has been maintained against the Cuban people for over six decades.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has stated that the country will move forward with planned economic reforms, including 176 measures aimed at liberalizing and decentralizing the economy. The reforms aim to boost food production, goods, and services, and reduce dependence on imports. Cuba has been experiencing a severe crisis, with a 15% contraction in GDP over the past six years.
