Cuba will ration sales of basic goods as tighter U.S. sanctions and the economic implosion of key ally Venezuela puts more pressure on the Communist regime to import food staples

Commerce Minister Betsy Díaz on Friday said the government would ration items including eggs, cooking oil, chicken, sausage and soap amid widespread shortages that have caused anxiety and panic buying.

Let's be friends like that little boy BarackObama wanted to be!

God be with the people of Cuba 🌎🙏

Who does the sanctions hurt? Not the ppl in power but the citizens. Is that what the president wants? Do the appear to similar to Central Americans? We would accomplish more if we went back to the previous policy and opened up Cuba.

WHERE. . .is Chez. . .when we need him!!! He could WHIP THINGS INTO SHAPE. . .REAL QUICK!!! and wind up with his MUG on pants, socks, underwear . . .instead of just T-shirts!!!

Cuba should let their farmers grow whatever they want, and then charge whatever they want. That would likely eliminate their food shortage in short order.

Latinos in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and at the border are being persecuted by Trump. But they will inherit God's kingdom and Trump is going to hell. Matthew 19:23-24.

What is it that the U.S. wants to accomplish through tighter sanctions on Cuba? It can't be about communism (China) or oppressive authoritarianism (North Korea, the Philippines). What is the objective?

Cuba could import food from Britain, I'm sure Chuck and Cami would be happy to sponsor it since they just visited. ClarenceHouse RoyalFamily They could even have Corbyn take it over personally.

Cuba,an islet, not important in any way, but as an idea, has to suit itself to a huge country, USA, a people that I admire with governments that I despise and that becomes less and lesser every year selling its forefathers' ideals in exchange for those of its scoundrel leaders

Godless!

Since WW2 , USA killed most people all over the world ! So the same they are trying on Cuba! It's amazing achievement!

Tiny country still being bullied for standing up for itself against a superpower . Pathetic US behaviour .

Americans will do a huge favour to themselves , to environment and democracy worldwide, If they do not re elect Trump.

they're poor with or without the U.S. sanctions. welcometocommunism

Way to go socialism/ communism...

Only the Cuban government has the guns. The military will kill it’s own families, friends and relatives to keep the gov in power.

Most of the world thrives while these clown regimes continue to hold the countries they “love” down for their benefit only.

Cuba has been rationing food for decades.
