Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel on Friday exposed the fascist, criminal, and genocidal nature of the US administration, following the executive order issued by the magnate in the White House that escalates the blockade.
On his Twitter account, the Cuban leader criticized President Trump, saying that under a mendacious and baseless pretext, “sold by those who make politics and enrich themselves at the expense of our people’s suffering,” he continues his supposed policy of “strangling the Cuban economy by imposing tariffs on countries that sovereignly trade oil with Cuba.”
Díaz-Canel pointed out that this measure proves the brutality of the policy against Cuba, asking on social media, “Didn’t the Secretary of State and his cronies claim the blockade didn’t exist? Where are those who bore us with their false stories about it being a simple ‘bilateral trade embargo’?”
The Cuban head of state harshly criticized and condemned those who incite the blockade against Cuba, while exposing the true nature of the executive order by stating, “This new measure demonstrates the fascist, criminal, and genocidal nature of a cabal that has hijacked the interests of the American people for purely personal gain.”
The day before, President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring a “national emergency” regarding the island nation, through which he plans to impose tariffs on countries that sell or supply oil to Cuba.
On the same social media platform, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez denounced the new measure. The escalation of the US blockade against the island, aimed at strangling it through energy pressure, is a stance he strongly condemned.
“Now they are proposing to impose a total blockade on fuel supplies to our country. To justify this, they rely on a long list of lies that attempt to portray Cuba as a threat it is not,” he stated on his Twitter account.
In response to the denunciation of this brutal act of aggression against Cuba and its people, expressions of rejection of this policy are pouring in from around the world, while solidarity organizations and groups are showing their support for the Caribbean nation.
