Cuba's foreign minister assured the United Nations on February 23, 2026, that the regime will find "creative solutions" to resist amid challenges, while presenting natural resources, healthcare, education, and renewable energy projects as national strengths, according to journalist Jorge Castro in an X post at approximately 5:30 PM UTC within the 3-hour reporting window from 2:46 PM to 5:46 PM UTC. Castro described the minister's statements as a "big lie to the world," accusing the regime of misrepresenting these sectors during the UN address. This follows the regime's earlier UN claims of nonexistent social indicators and expressed willingness for US dialogue, as reported by Castro around 2:00 PM UTC. The foreign minister's remarks build on the regime's promises to resist a humanitarian crisis, consistent with accusations of false claims made earlier today at the UN, per Castro's reporting.
