Summary
The U.S. just hit Cuba with fresh sanctions targeting Fidel Ernesto Castro, grandson of the late leader, and Abapet, a vital company keeping the island’s power grid from total collapse. This move aims to cripple Cuba’s energy infrastructure, deepen economic suffering, and push citizens toward regime change. With daily blackouts now stretching over 24 hours and inflation soaring, experts say Washington is betting on pain as a catalyst for revolution. Talks between the two nations have stalled, and sanctions are intensifying — especially against smaller state firms — following prior blows to Cuba’s oil and gas sector. Cuban officials call it collective punishment and a humanitarian crime, while U.S. officials insist they’re dismantling corruption to secure a free Cuba.
