We stand with Cuba
Crooked little Marco Rubio, architect of Trump's neofascist assault on our sister nation, has visions of grandeur, to achieve what 13 former occupants of the White House, (including Trump 1.0) have not been able to accomplish, which is regime change in Cuba.
And this is what the recent executive order from the 'emperor’, with its imposition of tariff on any country that dare to supply oil to Cuba, ultimate goal.
The Revolutionary Government condemns in the strongest possible terms the latest escalation by the US government against Cuba, in its efforts to impose a total blockade on fuel supplies to our country.
The US President’s executive order, announced on 29 January 2026, declares a supposed national emergency, under which his government will be able to impose trade tariffs on imports of products from countries that supply oil to Cuba.
