Washington proposed a $100 million humanitarian aid package and satellite internet to Cuba amid a US oil blockade. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez stated they would consider the offer if it comes without political conditions. The US State Department conditioned the aid on substantial reforms. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel criticized the proposal as inconsistent, suggesting that lifting economic sanctions would be far more effective. If accepted, the funds would prioritize fuel and food.
