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.

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.

Getting aid from corrupt countries really cuba have you no shame?
@kevinmarshall4953Communism is work absolutely perfect as planned. Everyone is equally miserable.
@Organized.Chaos.00Should have picked their friends better. Putin can ship all the oil he wants but they have to pay for it.
@risinbison1106Meanwhile Musk is worth $1,000,000,000,000.
@kimonharamis7812DW 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 !
Cuba needs a socialist market economy like China.
@dumplingboy123Why 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
@LSRC08What 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?!
@gusvers123yeah 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
@SM-jb4vbI 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.
@harrow2222It 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
@teglaprbambaluftlaurvafhen5449It cant be there leaders
@RhettLewis-t3eIt's not a blockade so much as the Cubans can't pay for it.
@Michaelbath-i6jAnother crime against humanity by the US. And abetted by its western allies.
@Davey-py111I 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.
@moshealexTonteria...
@bobbywestmusicianUSSR became an economic powerhouse overnight. So, it's obvious the system does work. Cuba has been destroyed by the embargo for years.
@forrestsmith8857Good for the US for trying to cleanse the Western sphere of influence of narcos, Commies and terrorists! ✊🇺🇲🔥
@Rorschach-26Another USA crime.
@pcfirebeatsIs Cuba a real threat to the US or Trump just want to bully it into submission?
@monkeybusiness2204Solar 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.
@madcow3417People 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😢😢😢😢
@user-yr2bm8kc9kMaintaining 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-qu1uxStop the lies Mr Communist Dictator. Cuba's problems are 100% because of Communism. Ask any Cuban that escaped and they will tell you so.
@leederosa9721Let'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.
@aoikemono6414Results of 60 years of communism 😂😂😂
@MikeAngel06This is criminal. All other country’s who support this are also criminals.
@WayOutEast1Get with the central bank program or pay the ultimate price!
@TabithaTabCatThe 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.
@T30-z5wStop blaming Trump. Call free elections and tomorrow you’ll see a huge investment in Cuba. The revolution failed it’s clear that it has.
@xeero24let me guess more communism??
@rloduwickTrump administration needs to stop all the rubbish.
@accountantasia125😂 make sense to me to overthrow your Communist dictatorship that could be the first step of changing your country😂 he's got to be the stupidest people on earth
@JamesBond-p8tNaClh2(o.. rght Lft
@un-tq3xmSocialism sucks
@USMC-GoforthSomeday you will learn why US doing it. Right you felt anger against us but tomorrow or someday you will thank Us .
@brokimpee8173Communist revolution brings wealth to the leaders and misery to the mass.
@ChauBau-o9lTighten the screw until the dictatorship Cuban regime collapse.
@ChauBau-o9lyou can just raid the official house to get generator or burn their belonging to stay warm just like france in revolution era 🤷♂️
@Kelpo_cerealYa China, they sure help their allies when USA took their leader out
@RokkuAniRunning around with vehicles that get 7 miles per gallon is a issue along with other fud that needs to catch up.
