Story summary

On September 26, President Donald Trump predicted that the US and Cuba would reach an agreement without needing military action, as tensions between Washington and Havana remain high. The same day, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez accused the US of deliberately inflicting humanitarian suffering on the island during his speech at the UN General Assembly, calling the blockade a crime and collective punishment. Trump's statement came after he described Cuba as a failed state in his address to the UN earlier that week, which prompted the Cuban delegation to walk out. The US-imposed oil blockade has caused severe fuel shortages and blackouts in Cuba due to its failing infrastructure, leading Rodriguez to condemn it as an act intended to trigger humanitarian crises on the island.
