- Last weekend, another ship carrying 1,700 tons of essential goods from Mexico and Belize arrived in Havana, while solidarity groups contributed seven additional tons to supplement the international relief effort.
- President Donald Trump threatened military action in Cuba last Thursday, claiming the country has "sort of collapsed" and stating, "We're going to handle that as soon as we've finished" military operations in Iran.
