Cuban Foreign Ministry Declares Intensified Economic War Against Cuba

The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement today demonstrating the intensification of the economic war against the island.

In it, they characterize the act of piracy committed on December 10th, when U.S. military forces attacked an oil tanker while it was sailing in international waters in the Caribbean Sea. As maritime terrorism and “a serious violation of international law. Including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Maritime Navigation. The U.S. government is responsible for the commission of these crimes. Which harm the international community as a whole.”

This action is part of the United States’ escalating efforts to impede Venezuela’s legitimate right to freely use and trade its natural resources with other nations, including the supply of hydrocarbons to Cuba.

“During Donald Trump’s first term, measures were taken to obstruct the free trade of Venezuelan oil resources. Also ships transporting fuel to our country were persecuted. This situation persists and is now being aggravated by the use of military force. To try to impose its dominance over Our America,” the statement noted.

These actions negatively impact Cuba and intensify the United States’ policy of maximum pressure and economic strangulation. With a direct impact on the national energy system. Consequently on the daily lives of the island’s population.

Also this clear application of the Trump corollary to the Monroe Doctrine violates the proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean. As a Zone of Peace and demands universal condemnation.
