Díaz-Canel assures that Cuba "will emerge victorious" from the US blockade despite the new sanctions

The United States government announced a new round of sanctions on Thursday targeting nine Cuban entities, including the Ministry of Construction. These entities, primarily operating within the mining and metallurgical sectors, were sanctioned by Washington on the grounds that they support the Cuban government's repressive apparatus through state control.

In response to the announcement, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel stated that the country will emerge victorious despite the new measures. The Cuban government continues to maintain its long-standing criticism of the ongoing United States blockade, framing the latest economic restrictions as part of a broader, unsuccessful effort to undermine the nation.
