US Ambassador's Visit to Cuba Amidst Internet Outage Sparks Debate

On May 14, 2025, amidst an internet outage in Cuba, the US ambassador embarked on a visit to several homes in the country. The visit, documented in a viral video by a Cuban social media user, has sparked debate about the Cuban government's response and the impact of the internet shutdown on the population. The author of the video, yannkomesa17, states, "This is the reality; the US ambassador is experiencing the reality of the Cuban people." The video shows the ambassador interacting with locals, highlighting the challenges faced by ordinary Cubans in the absence of internet access. One resident described the situation as "a bit tough." The video's authenticity, however, needs further verification. The incident underscores the ongoing tensions between the US and Cuba, and the significance of internet access in modern society.
