Cuba rejects U.S. decision to incarcerate migrants in the Guantanamo Naval Base
Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Cuba rejects the decision announced by the President of the United States to use the Guantanamo Naval Base to imprison tens of thousands of migrants he has proposed to forcibly expel. It is a demonstration of the brutality with which that government is acting to supposedly correct problems created by the economic and social conditions of that country, the government's own management and its foreign policy, including hostility towards countries of origin.

Cuba will overcome the imperialist offensive
Statement of the Revolutionary Government
US President Donald Trump lashes out against Cuba from day one and without pretext. The decision to reinstate the tough economic warfare measures against Cuba, which his predecessor removed just days before, proves the aggressiveness of US imperialism against the sovereignty, peace and welfare of the Cuban people. These measures comprise the inclusion of our country, once again, in the arbitrary list of States that allegedly sponsor terrorism, a designation that shows an absolute disregard for the truth.
Cuba and Canada strengthen inter-parliamentary relations
Member of the Political Bureau of the Party Central Committee Esteban Lazo Hernández, president of the National Assembly of People's Power (ANPP) and of the Council of State, exchanged on Wednesday, at the National Capitol, with members of the Canada-Cuba Parliamentary Friendship Group (GPA) delegation visiting our country.
We ratify the will to expand and strengthen inter-parliamentary relations, said the head of the supreme organ of state power, while greeting the Canadian legislators.
The United States takes steps in the right direction, but the blockade remains in force.
