Cuba and United States
Cuba scores 25/100 toward United States (unfriendliness, pressure), while United States scores 18/100 back.
Cuba toward United States
Cuba's military cooperation with Russia, China, and Iran prompted multiple rounds of U.S. sanctions; Cuba shows no cooperative gestures toward Washington and its entities are being blacklisted, indicating ongoing hostility or at best deep unfriendliness from Havana's side.
United States toward Cuba
The U.S. added Cuba's Ministry of Construction and ICAP plus 22+ other entities to SDN lists, sanctioned Cuban military firms tied to Russian/Chinese arms deals, and maintains broad trade restrictions crushing Cuba's economy—a clear aggressive sanctions posture.
