A large international delegation known as the Nuestra América Convoy has arrived in Havana, Cuba, delivering around 20 tons of humanitarian aid to the island amid ongoing US sanctions. The group, comprising over 600 people from 33 countries and 120 organizations, includes figures such as Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, former UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, and others protesting what they describe as a US economic blockade. The visit coincides with recent US actions, including a takeover of Venezuela's oil business and Executive Order 14380 issued on January 29.

Political leaders, parliamentarians, and international organizations have expressed solidarity with Cuba in response to President Donald Trump's recent executive order imposing sanctions to obstruct oil supplies to the island. This measure intensifies the over-six-decade economic blockade against Cuba, condemned annually by the UN General Assembly since 1992. Countries like Mexico, Russia, China, and Venezuela, along with multilateral groups, have rejected the action and offered support.
