Cuban-American congresswoman María Elvira Salazar urged on Monday not to travel to Cuba, warning that the situation on the island is dangerous, claiming that the regime is in its final hours and becoming unpredictable.
In a message posted on X, the Republican legislator warned that in Cuba there is no electricity, food, or medicine, and that the population faces constant blackouts, hunger, and repression, in a context of rapidly deteriorating living conditions.
Salazar also pointed out that many airlines are canceling flights to and from the island, which could leave travelers stranded for weeks or even longer, and urged not to jeopardize personal safety.
The warning was made in a post on X, in response to a report from CBS News that includes testimonies from passengers who arrived in Miami from Havana, who described the situation in Cuba as the worst they have ever experienced, with increasing anxiety about what may happen in the coming days.
The report indicates that the crisis is deepening due to fuel shortages, which have caused widespread blackouts and worsened the lack of food and medicine, increasing uncertainty and fear among the Cuban population.
Salazar's statements join the call from other Cuban American congress members who urged President Donald Trump to implement a zero tolerance and maximum pressure policy against the Cuban regime, believing that the power structure on the island is weaker than ever.
