What Experts Propose to Resolve the Hemisphere’s Oldest Dispute
With a diverse repertoire, a group of organizations, media outlets, political coalitions, and companies—mostly based in the United States—have, for several years, led actions in support of the Cuban regime. They are organized as a network, through alliances that often involve multiple key actors within this web and the coordination of strategies typical of an influence operation.
Large protests broke out in Morón, in the province of Ciego de Ávila, on the night of March 13, 2026, after weeks of prolonged blackouts, fuel shortages, widespread scarcity of basic goods across the island and the near-total paralysis of daily life in Cuba. Although communications remain limited, social media posts offer an initial glimpse of what happened.
Cuba’s appointed president, Miguel Diaz-Canel, confirmed at a meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party held on March 12, and again in an address to the nation on the morning of March 13th, that recently Cuban officials have been holding conversations with representatives of the United States government.
Ecuador declared the Cuban ambassador, Basilio Antonio Gutiérrez García, persona non grata and extended the measure to the rest of the island’s diplomatic mission accredited in its territory.
During a press conference on Saturday, January 3, 2026, President Donald Trump stated that the United States will run Venezuela until his administration can “ensure a peaceful transition” of power. He did not, however, provide tentative dates for this process.
Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro “was reportedly detained and removed from Venezuelan territory,” according to a message published by US President Donald Trump on his social network platform. In that same post, Trump stated that US forces carried out attacks inside Venezuela, following reports of explosions in the states of Miranda, Aragua, and La Guaira, as well as in Caracas.
The structural crisis Cuba is going through is becoming increasingly evident. In 2025, the tourism industry—one of the country’s main sources of income—recorded its worst performance in decades, while deficits in the energy sector continue to greatly affect the daily lives of Cubans.
After the closed door trials last month against the former Minister of Economy and Planning, Alejandro Gil Fernandez, on the evening of December 8, 2025, the Supreme Court published the sentences.
On November 28, 2025, historian Alexander Hall Lujardo published an open letter to Cuba’s ruler, Miguel Diaz-Canel, denouncing that he is suffering a serious “violation of rights” and “political persecution” at the hands of State Security, a political police body under the Ministry of the Interior.
Since 2022, the exchange rate in Cuba’s informal market has shown high volatility. Within a matter of weeks, the price of the dollar or euro can soar, stabilize at a new high, and then fall sharply. However, it rarely returns to its starting point.
Venezuelan ruler Nicolas Maduro recently received bad news when he asked for help from his Cuban partners. Sources close to the Venezuelan government said that, in mid-October 2025, the dictator met in Caracas with Cuban advisers to discuss possible military or logistical support from Havana amid the growing presence of US forces near Venezuelan shores.
In early May 2025, El Toque published a list of the dollar stores we were able to find in Cuba. At that time, we counted 85 establishments that sold their products exclusively in foreign currency. Now, five months later, we count 209 — an increase of 146%.
Cuba’s power grid collapsed again on Sept. 10, marking the fifth nationwide blackout in less than a year as the island’s energy crisis worsens.
Dollar trades at historic 400 CUP in Cuba’s informal market; official rates lag far behind amid dire economic pressures.
