Cuba categorically denounces and rejects both versions of the infamous document.
The Trump Administration’s “new” memorandum violates the rights of an entire nation and ratchets down every loop hole of Cuba’s right to interact with the nations of the world. They keep throwing these restrictions on the wall to see what sticks in frustration as dignified Cuba stands tall.
