US oil blockade deepens a preexisting crisis | DW News

Video Overview & Insights

Cuba's president is promising sweeping economic reforms as a US oil blockade hits hard. Is Miguel Diaz-Canel's pledge of 'time to change' too little, too late?

Cuba is facing one of its most severe energy crises in decades, with fuel shortages triggering blackouts that can last more than 20 hours a day. The island relies heavily on imported fuel, while experts cite both US restrictions and government mismanagement as key causes.

Understand tbat castros found out the way to manipulate ,lie,control the people of cuba and to steal all the money entering cuba.that's the only reason they donn't want to let go. The solution for that mess is kick castros and comunists out of cuba.

With the right policy and structural changes, Cuba could become the Singapore of the Caribbean, but as it is now, there's only collapse staring them in the face

Why are some of Cubans all of a sudden pretending to believe what FL is saying ? The same group of Cuba that Told the USA to put all those Sanctions on the island in the first place ? If they just wantted to surrender, just say that.

DW again looks for a way not to blame the Castros for the disaster that Cuba became over the 67 years the Castro family has ruled over the Cuban population.

The Professor Torres Perez, in WOKE Washington is clearly trying to sidestep comments that will trigger the “Che Guevara “ loving Liberals in DC Academia !

Why don't you guys report on Venezuela energy crisis as well. They are having blackouts for 3 days straight and then get light for 2 hours ! Oh that's right it's not beneficial because Trump "saved Venezuela"Venezuela is still going through all the same things

@LSRC08

What I don't understand about Cuba is that why the people they don't rise up and revolut about this kind of government? Why they accept this tragic situation all those years?!

yeah after agreeing with Russian to put nuclear missiles near US, for how much they blame USA never thought to blame Russia as much they blame USA

I mean if it wss Israel they would wipe out the population and destroy the country for the US,do you honestly think this is humane or its the US showing its true colors.

It is always someone else’s fault. Imagine the same scenario in any us state? No different except our corrupt system relies on capitalism. Hmmm maybe that is why Cubans risk rafting across the sea to Miami❤(before the energy crisis). Open your markets Cuba, u have the stability good luck

I was born in communist country the USSR. Never liked the soviet system and immigrated as soon as the border was open in 1991. Cuba is different from the USSR. I'm against changing the Cuban regime, but it must open asap, how did Vietnam and China. Cuba has no criminal, no cartels and this is good. As soon as the regime will be destroyed from outside all the problems, that happened in the post soviet area will happen in Cuba. I don't want this and don't wish it to Cuba. Cuban people are so nice and friendly. I don't want the civil war in Cuba.

USSR became an economic powerhouse overnight. So, it's obvious the system does work. Cuba has been destroyed by the embargo for years.

Solar isn't all or nothing. A $100 panel can keep a small battery powered fan, laptop, and phone going. An Ecoflow and larger panels can provide power for cooking or a CPAP machine for under $1,000.

People have power especially now the USA is watching, now is time to act. Otherwise there will never be change. Trump will fade, blockade will fall and you’ll have the same regime. Happy??? I😢😢😢😢

Maintaining an economic blockade for six decades, while accusing Cuba of isolation, is the diplomatic equivalent of setting fire to your neighbor's house and fining him for not putting it out.

@just-qu1ux

Stop the lies Mr Communist Dictator. Cuba's problems are 100% because of Communism. Ask any Cuban that escaped and they will tell you so.

@leederosa9721

Let's stop constantly using "corruption" in a government to divert blame and obscure reality. Whether it's Cuba or Venezuela or Iran, no matter how corrupt their governments might actually be, the one ultimately dealing the final blow is the United States. They may be struggling, but they aren't dying. The US loves to use corruption as an excuse for sanctions, and it has its uses when done selectively, but this sort of broad heavy handed approach is tantamount to collective punishment and the gradual suffocation and genocide of an entire nation of people.

The blockade is against oil to the corrupt regime leaders that profit from this free oil they later sell to their people. Not the Cuban people. Tell the truth please.

Stop blaming Trump. Call free elections and tomorrow you’ll see a huge investment in Cuba. The revolution failed it’s clear that it has.
