The United States embassy in Cuba has issued a severe warning to American citizens amid a growing wave of government-sponsored protests, highlighting the challenges they may face in the Caribbean nation.

Recent actions by Washington, notably the complete blockade of oil supplies to Cuba, have led to widespread economic disruption, including soaring prices and dwindling resources. These measures have resulted in severe fuel shortages and frequent power outages that could significantly impact daily life.

The embassy's statement urges Americans to be cautious, conserve essential resources such as fuel and food, and brace for considerable disruption. Additionally, diplomatic channels between Havana and Washington remain open, although significant progress has yet to be achieved.
