AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoCuba’s Economic Pivot: Cuba’s National Assembly approved 176 sweeping reforms, the biggest shift since 2011, aiming to decentralize the state economy, expand private activity, end the foreign-trade monopoly, allow private banking under the Central Bank, and open real estate and tourism to foreign and private capital—while also targeting subsidies and currency rules amid deep crisis and public skepticism. U.S. Pushback: The U.S. State Department dismissed the package as “superficial smoke signals,” saying Washington wants deeper political change, as Trump’s team keeps pressure on Havana. Military-Operation Talk: Trump told Axios a Cuba operation “possibly” could resemble the Venezuela raid that toppled Nicolas Maduro, while stressing no timeline—adding that policy is shaped by Marco Rubio. Havana Protests: As blackouts and shortages worsen, cacerolazos and burning tires spread across neighborhoods, with residents demanding “water and electricity.” Inequality Debate: Cuban voices inside the reform debate warn the new model could widen gaps, with inequality already rising.
