Authored by Vincent Geloso via TheDailyEconomy.org,
Every year, since 1992, the UN General Assembly votes on a resolution brought forth by Cuba's government regarding the need to end the US embargo. Each time the resolution is brought, Cuba's government attributes the country's economic hardships — such as shortages, rationing, and limited access to goods — to the long-standing US embargo, which it frames as a form of “economic warfare.” In its 2023 estimate, Cuba claimed the embargo has costits economy a total of $1.34 trillion, adding roughly $13 million in losses each day over the past year. This is an enormous number — and just as enormous a pile of rubbish.
The Cuban government attributes the figure to lost export revenues, trade reallocation costs, and disruptions in production and services. While these categories may sound reasonable at first glance, the regime assumes that all such disruptions are caused...

Cuba Now A Strategic Battleground For China Against The US
Authored by John Mills via The Epoch Times,
