[Cuban Foreign Minister: US Economic Blockade Causes Cuba to Lose Over $7 Billion in One Year] On February 19, local time, Cuban Foreign Minister Rodríguez posted on social media, strongly condemning the US economic blockade against Cuba. He pointed out that in the year from March 2024 to February 2025, the US actions caused Cuba's economy to lose more than $7 billion, an impact that can be described as "devastating." Rodríguez also emphasized that, facing a 67-year-long blockade, Cuba, thanks to the resilience of its political, economic, and social systems, has been able to allocate limited resources according to priorities, respond in an orderly manner under enormous restrictions, protect the most vulnerable groups, and maintain fairness and justice as much as possible while bearing the impact.
