Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, member of the Political Bureau and Minister of Foreign Affairs, condemned “in the strongest terms” the new escalation by the U.S. government against Cuba in a publication in X.
“Now it intends to impose a total blockade on fuel supplies to our country.”
“To justify this, it relies on a long list of lies that seek to portray Cuba as a threat that it is not. Every day there is new evidence that the only threat to peace, security, and stability in the region, and the only malign influence, is that exerted by the U.S. government against the nations and peoples of Our America, which it seeks to subjugate to its dictates, strip of their resources, mutilate their sovereignty, and deprive of their independence.”
Rodríguez Parrilla also said that the White House “also resorts to blackmail and coercion to try to get other countries to join its universally condemned policy of blockade against Cuba, threatening those that refuse with the imposition of arbitrary and abusive tariffs, in violation of all free trade rules.”
In this regard, he denounced before the world the brutal act of aggression against Cuba and its people, who for more than 65 years have been subjected to the longest and cruelest economic blockade ever imposed on an entire nation, and who are now promised to be subjected to extreme living conditions, he remarked.
