The Cuba National Assembly recently completed its second and final session of the year, with a key focus on the country’s economy ahead of the impending administration of President-elect Donald Trump. During the session, President Miguel Diaz-Canel and his ministers addressed various economic challenges facing Cuba, including a struggling economy and the impact of US sanctions.
With the upcoming change in leadership in the United States, there is growing uncertainty about how the Trump administration will approach relations with Cuba. The current US sanctions have already put a strain on the Cuban economy, making it even more crucial for the government to address these issues in order to navigate the challenges ahead.
President Diaz-Canel and his administration have emphasized the need for economic reform and modernization in Cuba, highlighting the importance of promoting entrepreneurship and attracting foreign investment. The session also touched on the country’s efforts to boost agricultural production and improve infrastructure, all in an effort to strengthen the economy and reduce reliance on external sources.
As the island nation prepares for the transition to a new US administration, the focus on economic issues in the recent National Assembly session demonstrates the government’s commitment to addressing these challenges and finding solutions to ensure the country’s economic stability and growth in the face of uncertainty.
