Cuban government announces it will ration food and everyday goods amid 'grave economic crisis'after Venezuela was forced to cut its aid to the communist-run island

in #informationwar5 years ago

The Cuban government will implement increased rationing of staple grocery items in the face of extensive food shortages, which the government blame on Donald Trump's trade sanctions.

The country's Commerce Minister Betsy Díaz Velázquez announced on Friday that chicken, eggs, rice, beans, soap and other basic products will all be rationed in the communist country.

Velázquez blamed increased U.S. trade sanctions under Donald Trump for the country's current inability to make up for the country's shortfall in food production, however many economists place a greater amount of blame on decreased aid from Venezuela.

The collapse of Venezuela's state oil company has led to a two-thirds cut in subsidised fuel shipments to Cuba, which the country uses as a commodity to facilitate international trade.

Ah good old socialist paradise of Cuba is struggling to make ends meet. This reminds me of a famous quote...

If only Bernie Sanders was there I'm sure he could turn things around in a second. - Sarcasm off

Cuba is feeling the Bern... Or at least the Bern we would be feeling if he were in charge over here.

Ways you can help the @informationwar!

If America ran out of money sooner rather than later, would that starve the socialism out of the swamp government, and is the rise of the economy, the stock market, procrastinating us all from dealing with the root issues (causes of the symptoms), things like the Federal Reserve, Soros, world banks, Rothschild, technocracy, globalism, bad religions, secret groups, tyranny, Big Pharma, China, Islam, Catholicism, Mormonism, Luciferianism, Scientology, paganism, Hollywood, leftism, Clinton, Obama, Bush, geoengineering, etc?
