AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoCuba Power Crisis: Cuba’s national electric grid suffered a total disconnection on Monday, July 6, leaving about 10 million people without power as crews investigate causes; the outage follows a severe fuel crisis tied to near-stalled fuel imports since 2025 and has left the system covering only about 33% of demand, with blackouts lasting up to 22 hours. U.S.-Cuba Pressure & Tourism: The same week also highlights how U.S. measures ripple into travel—tourists are increasingly wary amid instability, and Cuba’s broader economic strain is driving hotel closures and reduced access. Doctors Program Under Fire (Italy): In Italy’s Calabria, Cuba continues sending doctors to remote hospitals despite U.S. pressure to end the program; local officials say the region depends on the staff, with reports that part of salaries flows back to Cuba. Travel Rules Update (U.S. entry): The U.S. updated visa-waiver rules: travelers with certain travel histories, including Cuba after Jan. 12, 2021, may lose visa-free eligibility and must apply for a standard visitor visa.
