Cuba is currently facing a deep economic crisis characterized by frequent power outages, food shortages, and soaring inflation. This turmoil arises from several factors, including aging infrastructure, dwindling foreign currency reserves due to limited exports and outdated economic strategies, and the enduring US embargo that restricts Cuba's access to global markets and investment. While the Cuban government attributes the crisis primarily to the embargo, experts contend that both internal policies and external sanctions play significant roles in the country's decline, creating a troubling cycle that leaves citizens with little hope for a better future. The potential return of a Trump administration could further worsen these challenges.
