Cuba reports US$8 billion in economic damage from US Blockade
Cuba has reported estimated economic damage of US$8.0833 billion from the United States’ economic blockade during the period from March 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026, as the country warns of growing pressure on energy supplies, healthcare, food distribution and international trade.
The figures are contained in Cuba’s 2026 report on the impact of the US blockade, which attributes worsening economic and humanitarian conditions to longstanding restrictions and what it describes as a recent escalation of economic pressure.
