North Dakota Reject US Hostility Against the Cuban People

The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) of North Dakota. They passed a resolution rejecting the unilateral coercive measures imposed by the United States government against Cuba.

In endorsing Resolution 13, the union expressed its firm rejection of the embargo imposed by Washington on the Caribbean nation. Demanded the immediate repeal of Executive Order 14380, signed by President Donald Trump on January 29th. Which declared a national emergency regarding Cuba and led to an oil blockade.

The organization urged the US government and Congress to end this embargo. Which prevents oil from reaching the archipelago, to remove Cuba from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOTs). Also to move toward the normalization of bilateral relations based on mutual respect and sovereignty.

Speaking at the recent Seventh Ordinary Session of the Tenth Legislature of the National Assembly. President Miguel Díaz-Canel denounced that only one oil tanker had entered Cuba in the last seven months.

This serious energy crisis, the head of state warned, is linked to the United States’ attempt at economic strangulation. With the aim of “provoking a social explosion” in the island nation.

“The economic and social implications of this collective punishment are humanly unbearable,” Díaz-Canel wrote on his Twitter account.

So far in 2026, Cuba has suffered six total blackouts due to the disconnection of the National Energy System (SEN in the Spanish acronym).
