Díaz-Canel questions US measures over new restrictions on Cuban private firms

On Friday in Havana, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel publicly questioned United States policy, accusing Washington of hypocrisy. The Cuban leader's remarks came in response to new U.S. restrictions targeting privately-owned businesses on the island.

According to the provided reports, Díaz-Canel highlighted a contradiction in U.S. actions. He noted that while the United States officially promotes private enterprise in Cuba, it concurrently implements new measures that restrict those exact privately-owned Cuban firms. Díaz-Canel addressed the issue while hosting a podcast alongside the prime minister.
