Statement in X by Cuban Foreign Minister in response to US lies
A few hours ago, the US Secretary of State said there is no such thing as an oil blockade on #Cuba.
He has simply chosen to lie. He contradicts the President and the White House spokeswoman.
It is impossible to hide the truth: On January 29, 2026, his President signed an Executive Order that threatened to impose tariffs on any country exporting fuels to Cuba.
After four months, only one fuel tanker has arrived in Cuba. All our suppliers are being intimidated and threatened in violation of the rules that govern free trade and freedom of navigation.
The new Executive Order issued on May 1st establishes secondary sanctions in the field of energy.
The Secretary knows only too well the harm and hardships that is being caused by the criminal oil siege that he himself suggested the President to impose on the Cuban people.
