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 Cuban government has attributed this diplomatic conflict and expulsion to pressure exerted by the United States.

The development occurs as Cuba experiences increasing regional isolation alongside severe internal challenges. The expulsion leaves uncertainty regarding the future of bilateral relations and the official response from the regime in Havana.
