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.

Tribute at the Cuban Embassy in Australia to the combatants who fell in defense of Venezuela

Canberra, 14 January, 2026. The United States government perpetrated a criminal military attack against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela on 3 January, 2026. During the aggression, the President Nicolás Maduro Moros and his wife, Cilia Flores, were kidnapped. In addition, a group of heroic Cuban and Venezuelan combatants lost their lives.

Today, the Cuban Embassy in Australia hosted a moving tribute to these brave men and women.

Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The US 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 began immediately 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 US government announced its intention to send humanitarian aid.
