“Cuba Is Not a Threat to the United States”: Deputy Foreign Minister Rejects U.S. Coercion and Defends Sovereignty

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.
