The Cuban peso’s one-to-one exchange rate with the US dollar is to be devalued for the first time in more than 50 years.
That will hurt the already struggling island country, where the economy is mostly state-owned.
Families there also face tough sanctions enforced under US President Donald Trump.

DUMP TRUMP
I will never understand how Cubans in Florida voted for Trump. The policy of hate and destruction is so hurting these lovely people who have only shown how much they desire friendship with America. Remember Trump’s BFF’s are Putin & Kim, communists.
Miami Cubans hate anything that has to do with communism there’s a video made by VICE News on Miami Cubans should check it out type in “vice news cubans” it seem they are quite divided in this election ppl have different view points and beliefs and ppl vote by their beliefs and interests like i voted back in November by my views and beliefs.
A Cuban living in the USA has nothing in common with a Cuban from Cuba. Likewise, Afroamericans in the USA have nothing in common with those in Africa. There is a difference from heaven to earth…
But you don’t see African Americans voting for the enemy. Leave it up to those Cubans in miami to sell out their own family and friends back in Cuba.
@snake doctor Cuban Americans sent Cubans 3.5 billions dollars a year!
this sucks. is there a way to send food to non govermental food banks in cuba?
It seem like U.S. politic is aim at selling military weapon
F***k Amerikkka
Free your mind Chanel on bit chute..showing Biden being charged for Ukraine billions scandal ..yea he is being charged money laundering..
truly inhumane nature these sanctions imposed without any cause.
US sanctions ar such : beating, starving and torturing a strange person who refused to satisfy your dirty fantasies…
USA is a disgrace for humanity!
That is just an american way.
U.S is paying what it had done with other countries
What about Venezuela? Any last minutes action on them…
Accountant Asia yep, America NEEDS Venezuelan natural resources, and they will take them one way or another !!!! Morals and integrity don’t come into it.
Cuban Americans voted for Trump…..that’s what you get.
There are 3 central banking systems left in the world that are not in the control of the Rothschild family: Iran, North Korea and Cuba, hence the sanctions…..
Cuba sufferings
80 percent of the Cuban government
65 Corruption, lack of management of the economy and shortage of food, medicines and lack of infrastructure
43 percent foreign influence from other countries
40 percent The United States embargo against Cuba
@Edilio A Its 90% USA embargo.
Libya was …
This is cruel and inhumane from the US government!
Economy sanctions killed more people than bombs and bullets. United states of America had made themselves God Almighty to humanity. Who’s to lives or died depends on the Capitol hill.
Sanction is warfare! Shame shame shame United States of Sanctions.
These sanctions are hurting the people more than the government.
Clement Lumumba
Capitalism kills more poor people in comparison to any other thing or terrorism or cartels killings etc combined
May almighty God take revenge from the biggest basterd and foolish of the earth Donald Trump.
God bless the Cuban Peoples.
What a karma do you guys know cubians who live in the state of Florida voted for Donald Trump to get re-elected and this is what they got in return.😂😂😂
Abdul Farah Cubans become extremely selfish when they move to America , they lose and sense of morality and integrity.
@Maria Dowler and to fulfil some evangelical prophesies they become blind towards themselves.
United sanction of America 🤮🤮💩💩
I don’t get it how is cuba a threat to US now ? What are they hopping to achieve with sanctioning cuba ?
So what they voted for trump in high numbers so who care what they going threw they need too suck it up they want too be white so bad lol.
Bitcoin Cuba, Bitcoin
You can use decentralized exchanges which is better to buy Bitcoin. You can mine your own Bitcoin. There are also decentralized stable coins which are just like paper money but digital like tether, DAI, USDC.
Ask for help from your buddies Iran, China and Russia. They can send foods lol
yes, better than US war criminals, we already know how they treat black people in the US
Of course we Chinese are always ready to help our Cuban brothers.
Sanctions became a trend for usa
Come on, the problem is the Cuban Government, no Donald Trump 🐖🐽🐷, Trump is a simple 🐖🐷🐷😂😅😅😅😂😅😅😅😅
I really don’t understand how this sanctions law work. So basically if someone do business or trades with Cuba is breaking the law like Ms Meng Huawei case?
Yes anybody from any country who violates it will be penalized. Fines and prison sentences are implemented. But they deserved it ! They voted for trump in the election and this is what he did a week after his deafeat. Lol it great.
Sanctions could make sense if the regime had become more authoritarian, but it makes no sense when Cuba is on a process of liberalization. Sadly, it is a tradition of the US to value subservience over human rights.
USA wants a puppet
Anyone who loves Cuba should move there and stay there. Is the need for remittances and food the cause or the solution? Why do they need help in the first place if Socialism works? Let China help them.
@Maria Dowler Typically you didn’t refute or disprove any of my points. You instead chose the ad hominem tactic. A preferred method for communist scumbags.
Yes. Let China help them. Even then you will have one problem or the other.
@The Comment Yes the problem is Communism. It’s failed miserably everywhere. History can’t be erased.
@Savagely Chill Well first of all you need to define what communism is? Because before debating on something first of all both the parties need to be on the same page. So what is your definition of communism?
@The Comment i have no interest in debating you or anyone else. This is a big waste of time. I’m guilty of indulging by even posting a comment. But no one else said it so I decided to post. Probably a bad idea. LOL because there’s no “Winning” on the internet. To answer your original question the definition of Communism is clearly defined in the ( Communist Manifesto ) – Karl Marx. Not mention Google, Webster’s dictionary etc. Now the version of it varies depending on the country or countries it was implemented in. But one things for sure it leads to death, misery, hunger and mass exodus of the populace. People flee Communism mostly to Capitalist countries. Mainly in the west. There’s no greater proof that I can offer than that. I’ve yet to see a person from the ( U.S. ) for example get on a raft and swim to a Communist country. That has yet to happen. If it has I seriously doubt it.
United Satan’s of America is a stain on humanity, I can definitely understand that old Iranian saying
The use of sanctions is a crime against humanity that should be prosecuted as such.
Only US can prosecute.
Voting for someone who would sanctioning your family…oh Cubans, you are all so confusing.
White Cubans controlled Cuba before Fidel. They are upset that the regime that took their power is still in place. That’s why they support Trump.
@Christopher Jacobs no… cubans are very religious so they need somebody who licks Gods chosen people
When America farts the whole world smells
Hhhh imagine they can sanction allies and adversaries alike.
I however think Sanctions will ultimately kill Us Dollar
how wonderful. trump is over now. biden should undo this evil
Cuba is no threat to America are Americans secared of innocent people who done no harm to USA this shows that America is bully in the world and only care about money and killing innocents
Sanction is against humanity.
Good Content!!!!
Cuba is better than Saudi Arabia. Can US have some common sense?
US economy (because of US dollar supremacy) is based on agreement that saudis sell oil only in dollar
Most people on here speaking in favor of the tyranny in Cuba have no clue of what the people of Cuba face on a day-to-day on that Island. Cubans are oppressed and in prison for speaking against the dictatorship, there are no human rights on the Island, the country is a big prison, people are afraid to speak-up their minds cause of the consequences they will suffer at the hands of the Cuban authorities afterwards. Anyone supporting the dictatorship is also supporting the basic human rights violations and the in prisoning of anyone who dares to speak up in favor of democratic and freedom rights on the Island..
Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea… always blaming USA for their own economic mismanagement. Food shortages always existed in these countries before economic sanctions. Shame on Al Jazeera for spreading propaganda and misinformation. Defending parasitic communist governments that can’t give good to their own citizens.
Linder Gonzalez it’s heartbreaking to see someone so uneducated and ill informed in these days of access to the internet. The USA has blocked access to modern medicine for Cuba for example, I suppose you blame economic mismanagement for that !!!! Might I suggest you do some actual research into the products that are banned from Cuba, then tell me how you expect the Cuban government to get around it !!!????
You really need to look at other and better sources of news and information if you want to broaden your knowledge bank otherwise you will remain brainwashed your whole life.
Cuba China is the Answer .
USA HAS PROBLEM WITH EVERY COUNTRY….THEY R USING SANCTIONS AS WEAPON …..THEY R ONLY HAPPY WITH ISRAEL BECAUSE THEY CONTROL AMERICA
F them!!!
These mfs voted for trump in Florida!
Yoruba Nation United Kingdom of the World Self-Determination Referendum Awareness Yoruba United Nation Kingdom of the World
Koreans in Japan emphasize Japan and US should withdraw sanction to North Korea and stop bringing prejudice and discrimination to North Korean people. So maybe, Koreans in Japan surely have sympathize to Cuban People
This woman on this report talks about the “sanctioning worsening the people’s lives on the Island”, that’s untruthful, the Soviet Union under communism had the same problems of lack of food and everyday household items, and they were not sanctioned by the U.S.. The problem is the communist dictatorship on the Island, in 62 years in power, it hasn’t been able to provide for the Cuban people, cause communism doesn’t work, tell the truth lady and stop the propaganda and BS!!!!!!!!!-
Amazing lol they voted for him in Florida this is what you get. Amazing. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is a inhumane and unjust burden on the Cuban people. The embargo of the Cuban people is an act of terrorism.
And they wonder why they are most hated country all over the world
Cubans who support trumo are at fault..average People from Cuba were using western union to survive but trump stoped it..if they want to stop the regimeand GAESA Cuban General/Castro then they should stop their account in Panama and Nicaragua
M Masseh S none of your business who rules Cuba, none of America’s business either. If America spent more time minding its OWN business the entire world would be a far happier place.
@Maria Dowler my wife and kids are in Cuba it is my bussiness..and trump shut down visas and embassy
Much Luv & Respect to Cuba from all Muslim countries who face common illegal sanctions by the western colonizers
United Snakes of America 🇺🇸
65 años de lucha ! Viva Cuba ! Viva la Revolucion
Good for the world……if they can destroy many American nations…. I think the consequences will keep them busy for decades and all other nations will be relief especially ME
American and Western sanctions are a crime against humanity. How can you make millions of people suffer or die because their government is anti-American? For more than 70 years, USA (joined by Europeans) have used this inhumane tactic. *Dictators and tyrants are best friends of America only if they kiss American feet.* Cuban Americans are also guilty in this crime because they support these sanctions.
Western motto is do as I say not as I do. China is a novice in this arena. They really need to learn this skill from the champions of this game of hypocrisy and invade Taiwan already on some pretext. I think Taiwan is developing chemical weapons.
This is the true face of TRUMP. I he a human being?
Hhhh not Trump hhh this sanctions are like the Iran sanctions they were there since long time6
The USA one nation under “God,” should read Matthew 25: 31 – 43. Come judgement day, Jesus won’t even know who these people are.
Hope you’re not holding your breath…
You never learn aren’t you?
Don’t buy US product’s (avoid any dollar transaction), replace it with local or Asian’s products to nullify sanction effect and kill US economy in long run
Karma : don’t worry.. l will settle with US..leave it to me⏳
China : i am that karma here
The only responsible of this is the Cuban government and its dictatorship! Cuban Americans send 3.5 billion dollars every year. The state companies are the biggest source of debt for the Cuban people. The government owns 80 % of the land and does not produce any food. It is easy to blame US for a failure that is only responsibility of a corrupt military dictatorship. It is time for free elections in Cuba!
Nice video. You’re doing fantastic my friend…
Constantly lecturing and accusing other countries of human rights abuses, the U S. Administration itself is the most cruel and hypocritical in the world. It imposes sanctions on any country that does not bow to its bullying. Just like Cubans , Iranians and Venezuelans have had to endure unbearable hardship, especially at a time of the pandemic, with a shortage of food and medicine. What happened to these people’s human rights ??
Hypocrisy says do as I say not as I do. But wise always learn from the examples already set by the masters. LOL.
Cuba be strong the evil Zionist us regime is going to be a heavy price for this crime they have committed against you for all this year’s
Toronto
Modern Babylon America is always showing up everywhere destroying other nations and thriving from Transgression!
Are still missing Cuba .. .
politics and ideologies make people suffer 😷
These things happen because the almighty allow it its the starting on the end of the world. There is more to come like the great tribulation when that comes the almighty would intervene because he said if he don’t come not a flesh would save. It hurts but know this my brothers and sisters the end is near.
👏🏽
Cuba and many countries such as Zimbabwe, Iraq and Venezuela are poor because of the western countries especially US posing sanctions against them. So sovereignty is just an illusion if another country can prevent you from choosing your destiny. USA is a wolf appearing as a sheep. They careless about the wellbeing of other nation.
Impose sancions against any country during the pandemic is a criminal act
According to WION its not if USA does it.
@The Comment WION is a Indian right wing propaganda channel.
Support EU or China currency.. 👍👍🙏🙏 Boycott american dollar and goods👏👏💪💪stop this evil state from oppressing the rest of the world.. 👍👍 Japan support👌✌️
Euro is good.. Germany must rise. Send us soldiers home.
Stand fast Daiper Donny is nearly gone 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
the usa has no morals or values as a nation and people
LOL that is about the most outrageous statement I’ve ever seen, sure we aren’t perfect, but to say we have no values? So what about Russia or the CCP or the EU? What about the dictatorship that had existed in Cuba for decades?
Hey now its not American citizens fault, it’s the politicians who are corrupt and stay in power for too long.
America will pay for this
This is just criminal system. Destroying the whole world. And the so called leaders are with the same idea
Being supporters of free trade I think majority of Americans will agree with me that Cubans always have the option of getting food from China, isn’t it? In case they don’t have enough capital to buy food then they can allow Chinese military presence on the Cuban island to protect it from imminent American invasion. Many US govt officials will call it China’s debt trap. Well anyways it will be called debt trap or something even if China donates food for free or very less prices. So China better have a Cuban military base to save the island from US invasion.
Food, Water, Shelter is a priorities for human being and America takes it away , Is a big sin and God will curse them .
One of the greatest and repeated mistakes made by major powers these days is pushing people to a point where they feel they have nothing to lose.
Right now, I think a few carrots could carry far long-term more weight in Cuba than the biggest of sticks.
Fidel Castro right. Nuke Cuba, problem solve.
US has been acting like the big fat snotty bully that Trump and his regime are.
Again?I thought they were lifted by Obama….what is going on?
and they say China is bad.
on a lighter note, food looks delicious!!
All the moral humans shall BOYCOTT USA ! Dont buy US products so let’s return their act !
United states economy is on dollar supremacy.. they print dollars every body buys that dollars as it is necessary for oil trade with (peaceloving dictator and King)of middle east.
@NUCLEAR GANDHI That’s a part of their economy income, we can make saves and use other currencies like Euros instead of dollars which will affect them… but there are many ways that they get money from selling their products, Coca-cola is more expensive than petrol and it is sold all over the world almost, we can stop buying it, shawarma and kebabs instead of MC Donald’s, Samsung instead of iPhone, Puma instead of Nike, there are a lots of options which we can replace their bloodi products
The Native American is the only true American. And the Republicans cheated them out of their rights, so why should they care about sanction against a Commy society. You have not seen the worst, it’s still to come.
The sanctions imposed in that country are what hurting those people and in reality that is a crime against humanity and not another way around. You can sugarcoat this and say this and that, but the sanction imposed in Cuba since 50s was meant for Cuban to bow and those resilient people of Cuba still standing!
Yet hidiots in America voted for Trump… It’s self hate really they see Castro in trump
Cuba has survived for many years! Many have tried before to no avail!
US sanctions as such : beating, starving and torturing a strange person who refused to satisfy your dirty fantasies…
USA is a disgrace for humanity!
Criminals us ,they have no hearts
Biden – 19
🇹🇿, friends!!!
why US loves to interfere in others country internal affairs???
Government is Satan
US is evil and dictatorial. US is a bully and needs to be eradicated, the earlier the better for the sake of the world.
America is a shame in itself as it sanctions other countries hunger is increasing in its own borders.
