Cuba accuses news site of US-backed plot to sabotage economy
==========
Cuba's government accuses independent news site El Toque of manipulating the black market currency exchange rate to impoverish Cubans and stoke unrest. The state-run media claims that El Toque is secretly financed by the United States and establishes a false value of the peso in relation to the dollar, with the aim of fomenting protests in Cuba. El Toque defends its online exchange rate tracker, stating that the allegations are ridiculous and implausible. The peso has lost nearly half its value against the dollar in 2024 alone, leading to a devastating freefall in the buying power of Cubans. The U.S. State Department has not yet responded to the allegations.
