Brazil's Lula demands end to US Cuba blockade

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has publicly demanded the United States end its economic blockade on Cuba. In a social media statement, he asserted that Cuba's issues are solely for its people to resolve, not for external leaders including himself or US President Donald Trump. Lula's remarks directly challenge ongoing US sanctions and align with regional calls for lifting the embargo. This intervention adds to international pressure on the Trump administration's Cuba policy, which has hinted at changes but maintained restrictions.
