Through his account on the social media platform X, the head of Foreign Affairs stated that the document incorporates sectors with marked ideological biases and clear financial interests into the psychological war against the Cuban people, which calls into question the prestige and scientific rigor of that renowned U.S. university.

Rodríguez stressed that the text intentionally conceals the consequences of nearly 70 years of economic suffocation, commercial and financial persecution, and the imposition of fear on those who trade with and invest in the island.

The foreign minister specified that the report does not acknowledge the damages of the blockade between March 1, 2025, and February 28, 2026, which amounted to 8 billion 83 million 300 thousand dollars, a record figure and 7 percent higher than the previous year.

Nor does it mention the accumulated damages from the blockade, which reach 178 billion 700 million 500 thousand dollars at current prices, nor that, had that policy not existed, Cuba's Gross Domestic Product in 2025 would have been 10.8 percent higher than the estimated value.

The head of Cuban diplomacy also denounced that the pseudo-report omits the persecution and closure of any "escape valve" explicitly declared by the U.S. Secretary of State, measures that limit economic recovery and the provision of essential services, with the purpose of creating a humanitarian crisis.

Rodríguez highlighted that more than 50 percent of the document focuses on criticisms and political recommendations aligned with the U.S. discourse, which demonstrates its intention to confuse and manipulate the U.S. and international public.
