Cuban leaders asked whether the United States dares to lift the blockade.

In an interview broadcast on NBC on April 12th, Cuban President Diaz-Canel stated that despite over 60 years of blockade by the United States, Cuba has not only not collapsed, but also has been able to maintain order, harmony, and stability. If Cuba is really as "inept, foolish, closed-minded, and lacking innovative spirit" as the US claims, why has the US spent so many years and so much taxpayer money trying to subvert and blockade Cuba, suppressing the Cuban revolution? Diaz-Canel called out to the US: "Lift the blockade on us and see what achievements we can make!"
