Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is reportedly supporting an international humanitarian aid convoy to Cuba scheduled to arrive in March 2026, according to Swedish media reports. The initiative, named 'Nuestra América Convoy to Cuba,' aims to deliver emergency aid to the Caribbean nation via air, land, and sea routes.
Organizers of the convoy claim that Cuba is experiencing its most severe period of fuel shortages and repeated power outages in years, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions. The convoy's website reportedly states that 'the Trump administration is strangling the island by stopping fuel, flights, and vital supplies needed for survival.'

In a statement, Thunberg expressed support for the convoy to provide assistance to the Cuban people and to stand up against 'imperialists like Trump and Netanyahu,' according to Aftonbladet. It remains unclear whether the activist will personally travel to Cuba as part of the mission.
The humanitarian effort comes as Cuba faces significant economic challenges following the loss of its main oil supplier after political changes in Venezuela. Reports indicate that former U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened punitive tariffs against countries supplying oil to Cuba.
