Cuba: US Continues Tightening Economic Noose

Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez stated today that the US government is relentless in its efforts to tighten the noose around Cuba’s economy.

“The US government, led by its dishonest and mendacious Secretary of State, continues to take steps to tighten the noose around Cuba’s economy. As Cuba has proven stronger, more capable, and more effective than he expected. In the face of the ruthless aggression and collective punishment against the people and their living conditions,” he expressed on social media.

This statement comes after the US State Department announced the designation of five Cuban entities under Executive Order 14404. Signed by US President Donald Trump in May 2016.

Also the sanctioned entities are: International Financial Bank, Rafin, Universal Stores, GeoMinera, and José Martí Steelworks. In addition to the official Annalie Lilliam Rueda Cardero.

“What this individual is promoting from the world’s greatest power is a crime,” stated the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Once again, the White House accuses Cuba of being a threat to U.S. National Security and Foreign Policy.

Through these measures, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “Anyone who provides services to these sanctioned actors risks being sanctioned themselves. Foreign banks and other companies that provide services to these entities must freeze those activities immediately.”

Furthermore this once again demonstrates the marked extraterritorial nature of the blockade and other aggressions against Cuba. With actions that reinforce the siege and accentuate the collective punishment against its people.
