Cuba-Dominican Republic diplomatic conflict: Cuba attributes to US pressure

Relations between Cuba and the Dominican Republic have become strained following the expulsion of nine members of the Cuban diplomatic mission from the Dominican Republic. The government in Havana has officially attributed this diplomatic conflict and expulsion to pressure exerted by the United States.

This development occurs as Cuba experiences a period of growing regional isolation alongside severe domestic challenges. The situation has raised uncertainty regarding how the Cuban regime will react to the expulsions and the escalating tensions between the two Caribbean nations.
