Cuba's communist government has condemned the extension of the U.S. embargo on the island by one year until September 2027, calling it a "genocidal policy" that has kept in place for over six decades. President Miguel Díaz-Canel of Cuba stated that the country will move forward with the planned economic reforms despite the sanctions.
The embargo, imposed in 1960 under President Dwight Eisenhower and expanded by President John F. Kennedy in 1962, has been maintained through the Foreign Commercial Trade Act. The current U.S. administration's aggressive stance, beginning in early 2026, includes a petroleum blockade and sanctions on foreign companies. Cuba's economic crisis deepened in recent years due to internal and external factors, prompting reforms to liberalize and decentralize the economy. The Cuban government claims that 76.1% of these transformations have legal backing.
