Cuba in September 2026: the most important developments in politics
In Cuba in September 2026, politics centred on relations with the United States. In his speech to the UN General Assembly on September 22, US President Donald Trump said freedom would come to Cuba and that the island's government would fall; the Cuban delegation left the hall during the address. On September 26 and 27 Trump predicted that Cuba and the United States would make a deal, while Cuba condemned US pressure, and its foreign minister warned against the "law of the jungle". Earlier, on September 7, Cuba's foreign minister said there were no negotiations despite what he called a "genocidal" blockade.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called on September 23 for Cuba to be removed from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism. Lithuania, Costa Rica and the United States established a global "Free Cuba" initiative on September 24. Raúl Castro reappeared at a military event on September 6 after rumors about his health.
