  • US accused of pressuring Latin America to cut ties with Cuban doctors program

Contesto

Cuba has leveled serious accusations against the United States, claiming it is pressuring Latin American countries to sever ties with Havana's international doctors program. Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez specifically charged the US with 'extorting' regional governments to axe decades-old agreements for Cuban medical personnel. The diplomatic confrontation centers on Cuba's foreign medical missions, a program that generates billions in crucial revenue for the island's economy. Rodríguez framed the American pressure as a deliberate attempt to 'strangle' Cuba's financial lifelines. This dispute follows the recent decisions by several Latin American nations to halt the deployment of Cuban doctors within their borders. The cancellations represent a direct hit to a cornerstone of Cuba's foreign policy and economic strategy. The allegation marks a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between Washington and Havana, reframing healthcare diplomacy as a new front in their protracted political and economic struggle.
