Costa Rica Joins US in Cuba Embassy Closure

0:00It's March 18. Let's get into the latest global headlines. Costa Rica's president, Rodrigo Chaves, announced his country no longer views Cuba's communist government as legitimate. He said they planned to close the Cuban Embassy in San Jose right away. Chaves shared these views at a public event with the United States Ambassador there. He highlighted the repression and tough living conditions many Cubans face every day. Meanwhile, a United States oil blockade has led to huge power blackouts across the island. Homes, hospitals, businesses, and even trash services in Havana are struggling, forcing some folks to rely on solar panels. Earlier this month, Ecuador made a similar move by shedding its own Cuban Embassy. They also declared the Cuban Ambassador and staff unwelcome. Both presidents joined other leaders from Latin America at an anti-crime summit hosted by United States President Trump in Florida. DNN is brought to you by our sponsor link in the description.
