Rodriguez presided over a press conference on the same day to release a report on the US trade embargo against Cuba from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2026. The report shows that the economic losses caused by the US trade embargo against Cuba during this period reached 8.083.3 billion US dollars, a record high. Rodriguez said that the US trade embargo against Cuba has exacerbated the decline in the actual income of poor Cuban households and the rise in the cost of living. Furthermore, restrictions on energy supplies and threats to shipping companies have disrupted electricity and water supplies and other public services.
