The U.S. has announced and committed an additional $6,000,000 in direct assistance to the Cuban people as described in the release.

Source summary
The State Department announced that the Trump Administration will provide an additional $6 million in direct humanitarian assistance to the Cuban people, building on an earlier $3 million tranche. The aid will be delivered via the same channel — pre-packaged commodities transported from Miami and distributed by local parish representatives in partnership with the Catholic Church and Caritas — intended to prevent interference or diversion by the Cuban government. The statement says the U.S. is prepared to increase direct support if the Cuban authorities allow it and warns the regime it will be held accountable for any interference.
