A caravan of classic cars supporting Cuba’s liberation is taking place in Hialeah on Sunday as the country deals with its power grid collapsing for a third time.
The caravan started at the Hialeah Mall at 9 a.m. and will make its way to Little Havana and Versailles.
Video shows several classic cars with Cuban flags on top of them as people gathered to show their support.
The latest developments in Cuba come after the country continues to deal with blackouts.
On Friday, 650 delegates from 33 countries and 120 organizations arrived in Cuba as part of a solidarity caravan transporting some 20 tons of humanitarian aid as the island grapples with a severe energy crisis.
As the conflict in the Middle East continues, President Donald Trump has spoken about Cuba being the next issue the U.S. works on.
Trump said he believes he’ll have “the honor of taking Cuba” soon.
Oscar Pérez-Oliva Fraga, the country’s economic czar, told NBC News in an exclusive interview that Cuba will allow nationals abroad to invest in and own businesses on the island.
This development has had mixed reactions within the Cuban community.
Cuban activist group Movimiento Democracia said investing in Cuba would give the regime a lifeline, as they believe it is close to falling.
“We don’t want that,” Ramon Saul Sanchez, president of Movimiento Democracia. “The regime is at the end of the rope. If it was before, maybe it might be an approach. Right now, just send a regime a lifesaver so it doesn’t fall? To stabilize the economy? Does it make sense to you?”
In February, the Cuban government announced that four people were killed and six were injured in a confrontation involving people on a boat registered in Florida and Cuban Border Guard Troops.
