Cuba has demanded that the United States stop pressuring the country

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] US authorities must stop pressuring Cuba. This was stated by the country's Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla.

"We call on the US government to leave Cuba alone and allow it to live in peace," Granma newspaper quoted the minister as saying.

No. It’s time to finish this thing that’s been going on since Kennedy was president.

The Cuban Foreign Minister sharply criticized Washington's policy, calling it a violation of international law and a threat to regional stability. Rodriguez also pointed out the consequences of the energy blockade against Cuba.

He emphasized that the republic poses no threat to the United States and is ready for dialogue based on respect for sovereignty and non-interference. The minister also called on the international community to prevent a potential humanitarian catastrophe or military escalation.

On May 20, the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) announced that a U.S. Navy carrier strike group had entered the Caribbean Sea. The group included the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, the destroyer USS Gridley, and the supply tanker USNS Patuxent. The deployment came amid accusations from Washington against Castro, who is accused of involvement in the deaths of American citizens in 1996.

US President Donald Trump has ruled out any escalation between Washington and Havana. However, the White House chief has previously repeatedly threatened Cuba with military force. Earlier this year, he threatened to impose tariffs on imports from countries supplying fuel to the island. On May 1, the American leader announced his intention to address Cuba after the conflict with Iran ends.

On May 16, The New York Times reported that US authorities were considering conducting a similar operation against former Cuban President Raúl Castro as was carried out against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Journalists indicated that, to implement this initiative, the US side intends to initiate criminal proceedings against the former Cuban president.

4 "US authorities must stop pressuring Cuba."

You mean 65 years of an economic embargo is working? I feel much better that not being able to purchase Cuban rum or cigars brought down Castro and follow-on regime.

5 "Does Vietnam still have a communism form of government? If not, what does Vietnam have?"

While Vietnam operates under a Communist "style of Gov". It has moved more and more to socialist-capitalist oriented market economy.

Where the government still plays a role in economic development, BUT ! Also allows market forces to influence supply and demand.

The economy has transitioned from a centrally planned communist system to a mixed economy used by most of the world. Gov regs for protection and general Free enterprise for keep the nation in supply and $$$$$.

In 2025 it imported about $45B from the USA and exported the US around $170B alone.

BTW: in a communist Government there are NO billionaires
Here is a list of Vietnam's
Phạm Nhật Vượng is in the top world 100
