AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Power & Travel Disruption: Havana and western Cuba plunged into darkness again after a “partial collapse” of the grid left five of 15 provinces without electricity, with fuel shortages making outages harder to manage and some blackouts lasting over 30 hours. U.S. Visa Rules for Cuba Travelers: The U.S. is making its visa bond program permanent, effective Aug. 3, letting consular officers require refundable deposits of $10,000, $15,000, or $20,000 for B-1/B-2 applicants from 50 countries that includes Cuba—raising the upfront cost for business and tourist trips. Diplomacy in the Caribbean: Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro visited Havana to urge “a dialogue between civilizations” with the U.S. and to call for solidarity with Cuba amid U.S. pressure. Tourism Industry Pressure: Reports continue to point to Cuba’s tourism strain, including widespread hotel shutdowns and a broader crisis that’s leaving the sector near paralysis.
