ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
ARGENTINADOMINANT ANGLE
Buenos Aires views the Cuba-US crisis as a multidimensional escalation where military posturing and diplomatic overtures coexist dangerously in the Caribbean.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Cuban President Díaz-Canel warned that a US attack 'will trigger a bloodbath with incalculable consequences'
- •Cuba acquired over 300 military drones from China and Iran, according to US media outlet Axios citing the Trump administration
- •Havana accepted $100 million in US humanitarian aid via the Catholic Church while maintaining a military deterrent posture
BIASES
Regionalist framing: the analysis prioritizes the impact on Caribbean and Latin American stability over bilateral Cuba-US dimensionsPreference for diplomatic reading: coverage emphasizes dialogue openings (Ratcliffe's visit, humanitarian aid) as much as escalationLow coverage of underlying causes: Cuba's internal context (shortages, social unrest) and structural reasons for the economic crisis remain underdeveloped
CHINADOMINANT ANGLE
Beijing views the Washington-Havana spiral as a maximum unilateral pressure exercise, at the crossroads of economic sanctions, unprecedented criminal accusations, and military rhetoric that Cuban officials describe as an existential threat.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Federal prosecutors in Miami are preparing an indictment against Raul Castro related to the 1996 crash of two civilian aircraft – a first against a Castro family member
- •The US Treasury has sanctioned Cuba's main intelligence agency and several high-ranking officials since January 2026
- •Cuba allegedly acquired around 300 military drones from Russia and Iran, according to American sources relayed by the South China Morning Post
BIASES
Washington-centric framing: coverage largely focuses on the sequence of American measures, leaving little space for detailed Cuban counterargumentsPreference for a juridico-institutional register: emphasis on the criminal indictment minimizes humanitarian and economic dimensions of the embargoLimited coverage of regional actors: the article does not address reactions from Latin American countries or the European Union to the escalation
