The United States is intensifying its stance on Cuba, with lawmakers like Marco Rubio implementing measures that include banning a firm responsible for money transfers to the island and reactivating Title III of the Helms-Burton Act, expanding the list of restricted entities. This resurgence of strict policies has led to the controversial relisting of Cuba as a terrorism sponsor, igniting widespread condemnation from various countries and organizations. Protests have erupted internationally, particularly in Mexico where demonstrators gathered in front of the US Embassy, decrying Cuba’s designation. Solidarity movements from countries like Zimbabwe and India have also denounced the US actions, labeling them as arbitrary and immoral. Meanwhile, workers in Panama have rejected Cuba’s inclusion on the US terrorism list, and Cuban residents in the Dominican Republic have voiced their disapproval of these measures. The ongoing tensions reflect a deeply divided opinion on the impact of US policies on Cuba and its people, further complicating diplomatic relations.
