US blames humanitarian crisis in Cuba on 'incompetence' of Diaz-Canel regime and defends 'exceptions' to blockade

The spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State, Tommy Pigott, stated that the humanitarian crisis in Cuba is directly caused by the Cuban regime under Miguel Díaz-Canel, criticizing its economic model and calling it 'incompetent.' He defended exceptions to the decades-old U.S. embargo against Cuba, allowing food and medicine to reach the population.

These comments come amid ongoing power outages in Cuba and a new energy blockade imposed earlier this year, which has disrupted essential services.
