Yesterday, June 30, 2025, the White House unveiled a new National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM) reinforcing economic aggression and blockade measures against Cuba. Presented as a measure to "support the Cuban people," this decision not only relies on false assumptions but also perpetuates the suffering of those it claims to benefit.
