Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic. Denounced today on the social media platform X the adoption of a new plan by the United States government that, he claimed, further strengthens the economic blockade against Cuba.
In his message, the Cuban president described the measure as an aggressive action driven by “narrow interests that are not representative of the majority” of the American people.
Díaz-Canel also warned in his post that the objective of this policy is “to cause the greatest possible damage and suffering to the Cuban people.” Although he assured that, despite the impact, “they will not break us.”
In a new memorandum issued this Monday, US President Donald Trump has updated his policy toward Cuba. Tightening the blockade by issuing measures similar to those of his first term. Including the implementation of a legal ban on US tourism to the country and other actions harmful to our economy.
Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Cuban Foreign Minister, also denounced the Presidential Memorandum against the island in an interview with X. “It reinforces the aggression and economic blockade that punishes the entire Cuban people and is the main obstacle to our development. It is criminal conduct and violates the human rights of an entire nation,” wrote the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Likewise, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) denounced today in a statement that this new aggression “aims to seriously affect all sectors of Cuban society.”
