Cuba condemns and denounces new escalation of US economic blockade
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.
Statement by President of the Republic of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez through his social media Friday, January 30, 2026
Under a false pretext and empty arguments, peddled by those who engage in politics and enrich themselves at the expense of our people's suffering, President Trump seeks to stifle the Cuban economy by imposing tariffs on countries that sovereignly trade oil with Cuba.
Didn't the Secretary of State and his harlequins say that the blockade did not exist?
Where are those who bore us with their false stories that it is simply an “embargo on bilateral trade”?
