China says it will ‘resolutely support’ Cuba against U.S. pressure

China will “resolutely support” Cuba against sustained threats from the United States, the Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday (April 15, 2026), days after President Miguel Diaz-Canel called for dialogue with Washington.

Cuba has been suffering from an energy crisis since January, when U.S. forces captured then-Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and deprived Havana of its main source of oil.
