We condemn in the strongest possible terms the new US escalation against Cuba.
Now the US government intends to impose a total blockade on Cuba's fuel supplies.
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.
There are no talks with the US government, except for technical contacts in the area of migration.
We have always been willing to engage in serious and responsible dialogue with the various US administrations, including the current one, on the basis of sovereign equality, mutual respect, principles of international law, mutual benefit without interference in domestic affairs, and with full respect for our independence.

They have no moral authority to point fingers at Cuba in anything, absolutely anything—those who turn everything into a business, even human lives.
