Message from the President of the Republic of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez

At the BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting, I pointed out that the current exclusionary international order has been virtually destroyed by the US attempt to restore unipolarity through an imperialist agenda based on military force, supremacism, and fascist neoconservatism.

I denounced the fact that Cuba is under threat of direct US military aggression and is suffering the effects of a brutal blockade on fuel supplies, which constitutes a growing threat to international peace and security and a violation of international law and the universally accepted rules of international trade and freedom of navigation.

We reject in the strongest terms President Donald Trump's Executive Orders against Cuba of January 29, which imposed the oil blockade, and of May 1, which establishes so-called "secondary sanctions" against entities in third countries that operate or have operated with Cuba; as well as the decisions of May 7 by the US Treasury Department. These additional measures reinforce the blockade against Cuba and its extraterritorial effects to extreme and unprecedented levels.
