Cuba is facing an economic and social catastrophe, and not entirely because of Donald Trump
(February 12, 2026)
Cuba’s current pain may not be enough to topple its Communist government, despite the desires of many Cuban exiles. Nor is the current crisis all Trump’s work. Cuba is a victim of the breakdown of the old international rules-based order.
Speech by OAS Secretary General, Albert R. Ramdin, during the Special Meeting of the Permanent Council to consider recent events in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
I would like to emphasize that the Americas have historically aspired to remain a zone of peace and that safeguarding this condition continues to be in the collective interest of all member states. Now, with respect to Venezuela, our commitment is clear. Morally, we owe the Venezuelan people our solidarity. Strategically, a stable, democratic, and prosperous Venezuela is in the interest of every single member state around this table.
At a minimum, we share responsibility for finding solutions that deliver concrete improvements to people‘s lives, respecting the inalienable right of the Venezuelan people to determine their own government and their own leadership in a representative democracy.
(…)
We can support a democratic transition in depth, strengthen institutions, supporting institutional reforms, assisting election readiness, building capacities, observing electoral process and so much more.

“Democracy cannot be the result of coercion or external intervention,” Jaramillo added.
