- Cuba loosens control of its private sector in a struggle with a mounting humanitarian crisis
Cuba has eased restrictions on private vendors and imports to address a humanitarian crisis, including allowing the resale of medicines and foreign goods, loosening oil extraction rules, and removing 46 prohibitions on private industry. The reforms follow a U.S. oil blockade that worsened shortages of energy, medicine, and food.
