Cuba’s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez has reported a “record” financial impact exceeding $8 billion as a result of the United States embargo. This figure represents the damages caused by the embargo, according to the report cited by Rodríguez. However, the report does not yet include the harm stemming from the energy blockade or secondary sanctions implemented by the Trump Administration starting in May. The denunciation was made public by *EL NACIONAL*. These ongoing sanctions continue to significantly hinder Cuba's economic development and international trade. The Cuban government maintains the embargo is a major obstacle to its economic progress. Further assessment is needed to determine the full scale of financial repercussions, including the impact of the more recent sanctions.
