US justifies sanctions against Cuba with ‘crude lies’ – Havana
Summary
According to RT, Havana says the United States is using false claims to defend new sanctions on Cuba, including restrictions aimed at the island’s state energy company. The article says the move could have broad effects because Cuba’s power sector is tied to daily life for millions of residents.
Why this matters
Energy sanctions can matter well beyond diplomacy because Cuba’s electricity system already faces shortages and fragile infrastructure. Measures targeting a key state company may affect households, public services, and the wider economy.
