Cuba Condemns Escalated US Aggression As Trump Plans Total Blockade

The Republic of Cuba   has denounced what he described as “the new escalation of aggression by the US government” against the Cuban people stressing that the Donald Trump administration allegedly plans to impose a total blockade on Cuba’s fuel supplies.

Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla said this in a statement made available to journalists by the Cuban Government on Friday, stressing that the US government has resorted to a long list of lies with the purpose of portraying Cuba as a threat, which it actually is not.

“We denounce before the world this brutal act of aggression against Cuba and its people, who for more than 65 years have been subjected to the longest and cruelest economic blockade ever applied against an entire nation and who are now threatened with being subjected to extreme living conditions,” Parrilla said.

He added that every day there are new evidence showing that the only threat to peace, security and stability in the region and the only malignant influence is the one exerted by the US government against the peoples and nations of our America.

The Minister decried the desire of the US to subject Cuba and other countries in Latin America and Caribbean to its dictates, deprive them of their resources, mutilate their sovereignty and deprive them of their independence.

“The US government is also resorting to blackmail and coercion in an attempt to make other countries to join its universally condemned blockade policy against Cuba; and if they refuse to do so, it is threatening to apply arbitrary and abusive tariffs in violation of all free trade rules,” Parrilla said.
