Cuba requesting assistance from the US

    The Cuban government requested emergency assistance due to the damage and impact of Hurricane Ian. Talks have included discussion on how much aid would be needed and where it would go and the main places of need were hospitals, water pumping facilities and infrastructure. There has been no response yet but Cuba reaching out is quite surprising considering past relations with the US.

    

    It is interesting seeing how situations like Hurricane Ian can impact relations in countries and how even though Cuba's GDP may be struggling due to damage alongside the US' is also going to be impacted due to Hurricane Ian. I am curious to see how much having the potential economic ally of Cuba and how it may help them and us benefit as well as how it may impact GDP by giving them financial aid and repairing the damage from the hurricane.

  1. Definitely, I do see the point, and it would also benefits the USA in the future making ally with Cuba. I can see both countries benefiting for this relationship in the long run if nothing affects the relationship. Cuba can more productively produced Sugarcane as an exports to America and gain Services, such as advanced equipment from America.
