The Egyptian Socialist Labor Party Expresses Solidarity with Cuba and Rejects U.S. Threats
Cairo, May 10, 2026. The Egyptian Socialist Labor Party issued a statement of solidarity with the Cuban people and government in the face of the successive and constant threats from the U.S. government, and in particular from its president, Donald Trump. The message states that these threats represent a recapitulation of decades of U.S. hostility toward the free, socialist-oriented state since October 1962, as well as the United States’ attempt to launch an attack against Cuba. The statement notes that the blockade has intensified following the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife on January 3.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejects, in the strongest possible terms, the Executive Order issued by the White House on May 1st, 2026, which tightens, to unprecedented and extreme levels, the economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba.
It likewise condemns the decision adopted by the US Treasure Department on May 7, 2026, to include the Cuban entities GAESA and MoaNickel S.A. in the Specially Designated Nationals List, being this the first coercive measure resulting from the order signed on May 1st.
Statement by the Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs via his X account
Rechazamos enérgicamente las recientes medidas coercitivas unilaterales adoptadas por el gobierno de los Estados Unidos. Estas acciones demuestran la voluntad de infligir, una vez más, un castigo colectivo al pueblo cubano.
