Last Friday, June 16, 2017, the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, in a speech full of rhetorical hostility, returned to the times of open confrontation against our country, announcing the new policy of his government towards Cuba, which reverses all the progress made during the past 2 years after the US. and Cuba announced in December 2014 the restoration of diplomatic relations and began a process for the gradual normalization of bilateral relations.
The measures announced by Trump, for example, impose additional obstacles to the already restricted business opportunities of US citizens to trade and invest in Cuba and go against the majority of the American people who want a normalization of relations between both Countries and the elimination of the so unjustified economic, financial and commercial blockade maintained by that government against Cuba.
We, Cubans living in Namibia, denounce the new measures announced by Trump and his new government, which are aimed at destroying the revolution but fail to do so, because the resistance of Cubans is more than proven against any type of aggression, being this demonstrated from the same triumph of the Cuban revolution.
We will not renounce all the achievements of our people and reiterate our commitment to our Cuban brothers to continue denouncing and repudiating any act that threatens our sovereignty and our principles.
Rafael Ramírez
President
