Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has accused the United States of carrying out what he described as a "genocide" against the Cuban people through its economic policies and alleged efforts to seize control of the island.
Speaking at a ceremony marking the 73rd anniversary of the 1953 Cuban Revolution, Díaz-Canel said the US has intensified economic pressure on Cuba, particularly through an oil embargo imposed earlier this year. According to the Cuban leader, the measures have worsened the country's ongoing economic crisis, leading to prolonged power outages, shortages of food, water and medicine, and reduced industrial activity.
He described the US policy as "economic strangulation," claiming it is aimed at forcing hardship on the Cuban population in an attempt to undermine the country's government.
Relations between Cuba and the United States have become increasingly strained under President Donald Trump. Cuba also criticized recent US actions, including legal charges against former President Raúl Castro and allegations that the Cuban government operates espionage networks targeting the United States and other countries in the region.
The Cuban government has rejected those accusations and said diplomatic efforts between the two countries have made little progress.
The ceremony also commemorated the revolution that ultimately led to the overthrow of former Cuban leader Fulgencio Batista in 1959. Former President Raúl Castro, a key figure in the revolution, was notably absent from the event.
The United States has not publicly responded to Díaz-Canel's latest remarks.
