Cuba has unveiled a series of market‑oriented reforms aimed at loosening state control over the economy, signaling a shift toward greater private enterprise and foreign investment. The changes include easing restrictions on small businesses, allowing more foreign ownership in key sectors, and simplifying the process for entrepreneurs to access credit. The move comes as the United States, under the Trump administration, has threatened a military response to Cuba’s continued support for left‑wing movements in Latin America and its perceived alignment with Russia. Analysts warn that while the reforms could spur economic growth, they may also provoke a hardening of U.S. sanctions and heighten geopolitical tensions in the region.
