KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Opposition People’s National Party (PNP) is urging Caribbean Community (Caricom) governments to adopt a coordinated and constructive regional response to rising tensions between Cuba and the United States (US), warning that the situation could threaten regional stability and economic security.

In a statement on Tuesday, the PNP said Caricom and the wider Caribbean have a vested interest in maintaining peace, respecting territorial integrity and defending the right of nations to self-determination.

The party expressed concern over a January 2026 Executive Order issued by the United States restricting fuel supplies to Cuba, arguing that the measure has caused severe hardship for the Cuban population. According to the PNP, the restrictions have disrupted transportation and the production of goods and services, while also placing strain on Cuba’s healthcare system.
