The United States renewed an offer of $100 million in humanitarian aid to Cuba, saying the assistance would be made available if Havana cooperates with Washington as the island struggles through a worsening economic and energy crisis marked by prolonged blackouts and fuel shortages.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the US state department said the proposed package would include direct humanitarian assistance and funding for “fast and free” internet access in Cuba, while also pushing for what it described as “meaningful reforms” in the communist-run country.
