‘A year of resistance’: Cuba’s private sector faces Trump’s oil blockade

SITREP: Cuba's private sector is experiencing severe challenges due to the US oil blockade, which has resulted in power outages and fuel shortages affecting small family businesses. This blockade is part of a broader strategy that has intensified over the past year. TACTICAL ASSESSMENT: The ongoing oil blockade undermines Cuba's economic resilience and exacerbates existing hardships for its private sector. Strategically, this may lead to increased domestic unrest and a potential shift in public sentiment towards the government. PROJECTED VECTORS: Continued pressure from the blockade may prompt Cuba to seek alternative alliances or increase domestic production efforts.
