US State Department releases report accusing Cuba of unique security threat amid island’s oil blockade

The U.S. State Department released a 100‑page, unsigned report titled *Cuba: Capital of 21st‑Century Communism* on Monday, alleging that Havana is responsible for a range of recent political disturbances in the United States. The document claims that Cuban actors have played a role in the George Floyd protests, the rise of antifa, and the growth of pro‑terrorist activism on American college campuses.

The report arrives amid a six‑month U.S. oil blockade that has left many residents of Havana struggling to find food and enduring prolonged blackouts. It frames the blockade as a response to Cuba’s purported influence on domestic U.S. unrest, while describing the Cuban government as a “unique threat to American homeland security.” The State Department’s brief does not provide an author or signature, and it is presented as part of the Trump administration’s broader effort to challenge the current U.S. government.

The publication of the report underscores the continuing tensions between Washington and Havana, as well as the administration’s strategy of linking foreign policy actions to domestic political outcomes. Its claims remain unverified by independent sources, and the U.S. government has not yet issued a formal response to the allegations.
