Rubio’s “New Path” Pitch: Hours before that expected move, Secretary of State Marco Rubio went on Cuban Independence Day TV to blame Cuba’s military-linked business network GAESA for shortages and blackouts, and offered $100 million in food and medicine—if delivered via the Catholic Church or other trusted groups, not GAESA. Sanctions Tighten the Screws: The U.S. has also expanded sanctions to top Cuban officials and intelligence/security bodies, aiming to restrict the regime’s ability to “suppress the will” of Cubans. Energy Crisis Meets War Talk: With fuel running out and daily life disrupted, Havana is warning any U.S. move would trigger a “bloodbath,” while Washington signals “fundamental changes” are required.
