AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoPower Crisis Hits Again: Cuba’s national grid suffered another total disconnection on Monday, July 6, leaving about 10 million people without electricity as fuel shortages deepen; the system was down to roughly 33% coverage and blackouts reportedly lasted up to 22 hours, with crews working to restore service. Sanctions Pressure: Coverage ties the outages to a US fuel blockade and near-total halt in fuel imports since January 2025, worsening shortages across food, water, and medicine. Diplomacy Signal: Hours before the blackout, Raul Guillermo Rodríguez Castro (Fidel Castro’s grandson) said he’s willing to speak directly with US President Donald Trump, while Cuba’s Communist Party has since endorsed him as an intermediary. Tourism Shock: Separate reporting says US sanctions are pushing hotels to close or leave and tourism to collapse. Culture for Visitors: Miami’s Adrienne Arsht Center announced a limited South Florida run of Buena Vista Social Club (Sept. 29–Oct. 4), with free community activities ahead of shows. Community Response: A Cuban community caravan in Tampa on July 11 will rally to support Cubans during the outages, with Willy Chirino scheduled to perform.
