Havana, May 28th. – In an interview with Full Measure, Cuba’s Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío reaffirmed the island nation’s longstanding willingness to resolve differences with the United States through dialogue, while rejecting “excuses” used to justify hostile policies.
Paris, May 28, 2026. The Cuban Ambassador to UNESCO, María del Carmen Herrera Caseiro, strongly denounced the unprecedented escalation of the current US administration's hostile policy against Cuba, based on a brutal intensification of the blockade and preparations for a direct military operation against the country.
Invited as a speaker on the panel organized by the Gabriel Péri Foundation, the Cuban diplomat referred to the recent measures imposed against Cuba by the current US administration through Executive Orders issued on January 29 and May 1 this year, which raised sanctions against the island to extreme levels with the application of a total energy blockade and threats against individuals, companies, and banking institutions from third countries that maintain legitimate economic, commercial, and financial relations with the country. In her presentation, the official traced the origins of this anti-Cuban policy from the time of the Revolution's triumph to the present day, demonstrating its genocidal nature in its attempt to economically strangle the country, causing severe harm to the entire Cuban people.
To the humanitarian repercussions of the genocidal policy that the U.S. government applies against Cuba is added the growing threat of direct military aggression by the United States against our country, under the false pretext that Cuba represents a threat to U.S. national security, or the infamous and arbitrary accusation leveled against the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Raúl Castro Ruz,”
Havana, May 28th, 2026. – In an interview with PBS News following the arrival of material aid from China, Cuba’s Deputy Foreign Minister Josefina Vidal Ferreiro firmly rejected U.S. pressure and reiterated the island’s commitment to defending its sovereignty.
Vidal condemned the intensification of U.S. coercive measures, including the oil-energy blockade and secondary sanctions on foreign entities. “The coercion, the pressure on Cuba has increased, has strengthened,” she stated, emphasizing that these actions directly harm the Cuban people’s living conditions.
