The Revolutionary Government of Cuba has issued a strong statement in response to recent decisions by U.S. President Donald Trump, who has intensified economic warfare measures against the island.
The statement was led by the foreign minister of the Caribbean nation, who declared that since the first day of his term, Trump has attacked Cuba “without any pretext.”
According to the statement, this includes denouncing the inclusion of the country on the list of states alleged to sponsor terrorism. This designation, described as “arbitrary,” reflects an “absolute disregard for the truth.”
The statement issued by the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs on January 14 had already anticipated that “the government of that country could revert in the future the measures adopted today.” This, according to the text, “demonstrates the lack of legitimacy, ethics, consistency, and reason for its conduct against Cuba.” Additionally, U.S. politicians are criticized for their inability to find valid justifications for their actions.
The statement also lashes out at Trump’s ambitions, describing him as an “emperor” with expansionist desires ranging from conquering Canada to stripping the Panama Canal. This new act of aggression is presented as a reaction to the “inability to bend our will” and to the support that the Cuban Revolution has garnered at the international level.
The new economic measures, which are added to the existing blockade, are intended to have a “very harmful effect” on the Cuban economy and the well-being of its people. However, the statement highlights the gratitude of the Cuban people for the many expressions of solidarity received from various parts of the world.
Finally, the message concludes with a strong reminder of the determination of the Cuban people: “Here prevails the conviction that CUBA WILL WIN. HOMELAND OR DEATH, WE WILL WIN.” This statement reaffirms Cuba’s commitment to its sovereignty and resistance to external pressures.
