ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
ARGENTINADOMINANT ANGLE

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
SINGAPOREDOMINANT ANGLE
Singapore puts human face on Cuban crisis: Amid Washington's diplomatic escalation and sanctions, Singapore's press documents the daily reality of millions of Cubans without electricity, fuel, and a future.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Only one tanker has arrived in Cuba in four months; the government has declared diesel and fuel stocks depleted, leading to power cuts of up to 20 hours a day
- •Since February 2026, university courses have been shifted online; Professor Alfredo Rodriguez states that entire sections of the program couldn't be taught due to lack of physical presence
- •The US has sanctioned Cuba's Intelligence Directorate and its top officials; Cuba allegedly acquired 300 military drones from Russia and Iran, according to US sources
BIASES
Humanitarian framing dominates: the report prioritizes civilian and student testimonies, relegating military and diplomatic dimensions to the backgroundPreference for on-the-ground sources: reliance on direct testimonies collected in Havana, with limited official counterpoint from WashingtonLimited coverage of the US position: US Treasury justifications for sanctions are briefly mentioned, without analysis of the arguments invoked by the Trump administration
