In a strong and widely discussed statement, Claudia Sheinbaum has called on the United States to reconsider its long-standing policies toward Cuba, arguing that sanctions and pressure are harming ordinary people rather than solving political disputes.

 

Sheinbaum emphasized that what she described as a “blockade and threat” are not tools of justice, but mechanisms that directly impact the daily lives of Cuban families. Her remarks reflect a growing sentiment among several global leaders who believe that decades of economic restrictions have contributed to hardship without delivering meaningful political change.

 

Calling for a new approach, she urged a transition from an era of sanctions to one of cooperation, stressing that national issues should be resolved internally by citizens, within a framework of sovereignty and mutual respect. According to her, diplomacy—not pressure—should guide international relations moving forward.
