Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Cuba unequivocally condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, while reaffirming its commitment to cooperate with the United States and other nations to strengthen regional and international security.
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.
Beginning at 10:00 a.m. on January 15, the population will have access to the headquarters of the Ministry of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, where the mortal remains of our combatants will be on display.
On Thursday, January 15, 2026, the mortal remains of the 32 combatants who heroically fell during the criminal attack perpetrated by the government of the United States against the sister Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela will arrive in the Homeland.
There are no conversations with the U.S. government, except for technical contacts in the area of migration.
We have always been willing to hold a serious and responsible dialogue with the different U.S. governments, including the current one, on the basis of sovereign equality, mutual respect, principles of International Law, reciprocal benefit without interference in internal affairs, and with full respect for our independence.
Mr. President,
Since September last year, Cuba has been denouncing the United States’ hegemonic and criminal plans, and its aggressive actions against Venezuela and the region. We have clearly exposed the serious and unpredictable consequences of the U.S. government’s irresponsible behavior for the political, social, and economic stability of Latin America and The Caribbean, and for international peace and stability in general.
