Cuban Foreign Minister Denounces New U.S. Measures Against Cuban Companies and Officials

Havana, August 21, 2026. – The United States Secretary of State continues to punish Cuban companies with the deliberate purpose of harming our economy and preventing the Cuban government from guaranteeing basic services to the population—which are already in a critical situation due to the blockade—denounced Cuba's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, via his X account.

Response by Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, minister of Foreign Affairs of Cuba, during the debate under Item 38, “Necessity of ending the economic, commercial, and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”

Thank you, Mr. President.

Truth be told this morning, the United States team deserved a red card.

I would like to contribute to Permanent Representative Waltz's photo slide show with this one showing a blackout in Havana due to the United States' energy blockade, or with this one of a Cuban family where the child has just arrived home from school, still in his uniform, but suffering from the darkness.

This photo is dramatic, Mr. President. It shows an operating room being illuminated by a cell phone flashlight. This is due to the United States' energy blockade.

Mr. President;

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.
