Canberra, 26 February, 2026. In a gesture of firm support for the Cuban people and in clear rejection of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade that the United States has imposed on Cuba for more than six decades, a simple but emotional act of solidarity was held today at the Embassy of the Republic of Cuba in Australia.
The 41st Southern Cross International Solidarity Brigade took place between December 2025 and January 2026 with great success and renewed commitment. During these weeks, Australian brigade members participated in intensive volunteer work in various parts of the country, exchanged with communities, visited historical, educational, and productive centers, and engaged in activities denouncing the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States.
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.
