Cuban Deputy FM Carlos Fernández de Cossío Accuses U.S. of Forcing Dependency and Destabilization
April 5, 2026
Carlos Fernández de Cossío, Cuba’s Deputy Foreign Minister, is calling out the blatant economic warfare being waged from Washington. The U.S. is not trying to “”free”” the Cuban people; they are trying to break them until they have no choice but to accept a forced return to predatory capitalism.
By tightening the blockade and strangling the island’s resources, the U.S. is manufacturing a crisis to create dependency. This is the oldest trick in the imperialist playbook: destroy a nation’s self-sufficiency, starve the population, and then offer “”aid”” with the condition of total corporate surrender.
They want to turn Cuba back into a playground for billionaires and a factory for cheap labor.
The U.S. talks about human rights while actively denying an entire nation the right to food, medicine, and sovereignty.

English Script:
What does the U.S. want with Cuba? The restoration of capitalism in the way capitalism was prior to the Cuban Revolution. And the U.S. also wants a relationship of dependency. If you have 36 hours without electrical power and the consequences of not having, then availability of fresh water, if you have problems of transportation to go to work, if you need a long surgery and you have to wait for weeks because there is not sufficient power, there is not sufficient health material in a country that for decades has ensured health services of quality for free for the whole population. And naturally, that provokes irritation. It provokes desperation in some people and in some people, a motivation they need to protest, which is natural. And that is in many ways the aim or the policy of the United States. And this is not described necessarily by the Cuban government. It’s an official documents of the U.S. government dating back to the 1960s. And it’s proclaimed by the current politicians. And they say, we’re taking Cuba to the brink. And then they say that Cuba will fall on its own. I don’t know what the concept of its own means when you’re putting so much pressure on the government to force it to fail.
