The U.S. city of Detroit (Michigan) passed a resolution on February 5, urging Congress and President Donald Trump to lift the economic, commercial and financial embargo against Cuba. It also urges the President to resume the rapprochement with the Island that was initiated during the previous Administration.
Cuba understands the obligations of the government of Canada to protect its diplomatic personnel posted anywhere in the world and to try to find answers to the health symptoms reported in Cuba, however, it considers that Canada´s decision made public today is incomprehensible.
Cutting Canada´s staff at its Embassy in Cuba and adjusting the mission´s programs are actions that do not help find answers to the health symptoms reported by Canadian diplomats, and which will have an impact on the relations.
