The Grenadian outlet Now Grenada published the article The Total Siege Against Cuba, written by the Cuban Ambassador to Grenada, Yadirys Echenique Paz. In the text, the diplomat denounces the measures imposed by Donald Trump against Cuba, describing them as an absolute siege and warning of their consequences on the daily life of the Cuban people.
The Ambassador explains that the Republican leader’s provisions intensified the economic, commercial, and financial blockade, affecting essential sectors such as energy, health, and food. The article stresses that these actions constitute a violation of international law and a direct attack on Cuba’s sovereignty.
It emphasizes the profound impact of the coercive measures on the population, as they restrict access to basic resources and increase hardships amid global crises:
“The numbers speak for themselves: 36 coercive measures in just a year and a half, covering the financial, cultural, migratory, diplomatic, and international cooperation spheres. Each one is a link in the chain of pressure aimed at strangling Cuba.”
By disseminating the hostile U.S. policies toward Cuba through Now Grenada, the voice of Cuban diplomacy enters the local public debate to highlight the struggle against the blockade and the defense of national sovereignty.
