Statement by the Revolutionary Government
The Revolutionary Government condemns in the strongest terms the new escalation by the US government against Cuba in its efforts to impose a total blockade on fuel supplies to our country.
The executive order issued by the US President on January 29, 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.
The U.S. government is exploiting what appears to be a humanitarian gesture for opportunistic and politically manipulative purposes.
In the context of the intense recovery effort that immediately began in Cuba following Hurricane Melissa's passage through the country on October 29, 2025, and the solidarity assistance that also arrived from the outset, the U.S. government announced its intention to send humanitarian aid.
