In an interview with MS NOW, Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, addressed the impact of the U.S. blockade, bilateral tensions, and the risks of a potential escalation against the island.
Aggression Against Cuba Is Not a Future Threat — It Is Already Underway
Aggression against Cuba is not something yet to materialize. It is not the danger of a possible future event, but rather an act that is already fully in progress.
It has been so for many years, in one form or another.
Residents and activists from Washington, D.C. gathered in a show of solidarity outside the Embassy of Cuba in Washington, D.C. on May 27, 2026. The event brought together members of social organizations, friends of Cuba, and community representatives.
Cuba’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Josefina Vidal Ferreiro, denounced on Wednesday, during an interview with PBS NewsHour, the tightening of U.S. coercive measures against the island.
Vidal stated that Washington has increased pressure on Cuba through an energy blockade aimed at hindering the country’s fuel supply, as well as through new sanctions against foreign entities and individuals that maintain commercial ties with the Caribbean nation.
The series of articles published by Fox News since May 21, referring to an alleged activity by the Cuban Embassy in the United States and its officials that interferes in the internal affairs of this country, or poses a threat, are completely unfounded and are part of a smear campaign promoted by the U.S. government.
The Cuban Embassy and all its officials strictly adhere to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations in the performance of their duties and in their activities. They also respect the laws and regulations of the United States.
