HUNDREDS of Cuban women gathered in Havana to decry a US energy embargo and other measures imposed by President Donald Trump that are strangling the Caribbean island.

Tuesday’s rally, organised by the Federation of Cuban Women, honoured the late Vilma Espin, the federation’s founder, a guerilla fighter and former president Raul Castro’s wife.

The crowd waved Cuban flags and held signs reading: “Down with the Blockade.”
