The United States' offer of $100 million in humanitarian aid to Cuba was rejected, as Cuba faces both hurricane damage and economic difficulties.

Rubio said on Friday that the Cuban government has rejected a U.S. proposal to provide $100 million in humanitarian aid. In February this year, the United States provided $6 million worth of humanitarian assistance to the people of Cuba, with the funds being distributed by Caritas, a nonprofit organization affiliated with the Catholic Church. Rubio stated that the U.S. had originally been prepared to offer additional aid, but the Cuban government was unwilling to accept it. Currently, Cuba is simultaneously grappling with disaster aftermath from a devastating hurricane, a weak economy, and long-standing fuel shortages.
