“Debate: Necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”
Mr. President;
Excellencies, Permanent Representatives;
Distinguished delegates;
The government of the United States is carrying out against Cuba a multi-dimensional, non-conventional warfare that has already lasted for almost seven decades now and has become ever crueler and more ruthless during the last seven months.
Basseterre, May 27: In a statement released on May 27, the Council for Foreign and Community Relations of the CARICOM expressed its deep concern over the economic, commercial, and financial measures imposed and intensified against the Republic of Cuba, which have hurt the lives and livelihoods of the Cuban people.
The statement unequivocally affirms Cuba’s sovereign right to import and receive fuel, and condemns the obstruction of energy supplies by the United States, which has precipitated a serious humanitarian situation.
Communiqué issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejects, in the strongest possible terms, the Executive Order issued by the White House on May 1st, 2026, which tightens, to unprecedented and extreme levels, the economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba.
