MXCuba received the first shipment of humanitarian aid from the United States as part of a $100 million assistance package announced by the U.S. government. The aid was delivered amid renewed tensions between Washington and Havana, sparked by a U.S. Department of State report accusing Cuba of 'subversive influence' against the United States. Catholic charity Cáritas Cuba reported receiving the initial shipment at Havana’s José Martí International Airport, which includes food and hygiene kits intended for 700 families in the archdiocese of Havana. The distribution will follow established vulnerability criteria and involve local parish volunteers. The shipment was part of a commitment made earlier this year by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Meanwhile, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez strongly criticized the U.S. report, calling it a 'mediocre pamphlet of propaganda' designed to support false claims that Cuba poses a threat to the United States.

It quotes both the U.S. government's justification for the aid and Cuba's rejection of the U.S. report, providing balanced perspectives on the event.
