President Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel denounced on Tuesday that the total blockade signed by the United States 64 years ago against Cuba has been transformed into a \u201cgenocidal blockade\u201d and an economic war by the actions of 12 US administrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through the social network X, the president recalled that on February 3, 1962, U.S. President John F. Kennedy \u201csigned and made official the policy of economic embargo against Cuba,\u201d a policy that, according to D\u00edaz-Canel, has been transformed into an instrument of extreme pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTwelve administrations from both parties have been transforming it into a #GenocidalBlockade,\u201d stated the head of state, who quoted the historical leader Fidel Castro, specifying: \u201cThis is called Economic Warfare.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The president\u2019s statement coincides with the latest escalation of US sanctions, marked by the executive order issued on January 29 by Donald Trump that aims to block oil supplies to the island through sanctions against third countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Foreign Minister Bruno Rodr\u00edguez had previously described this measure as an attempt to make \u201chumanity complicit in a terrible oil blockade\u201d with unprecedented humanitarian consequences for the Cuban civilian population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
