Yesterday, June 30, 2025, the White House unveiled a new National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM) reinforcing economic aggression and blockade measures against Cuba. Presented as a measure to "support the Cuban people," this decision not only relies on false assumptions but also perpetuates the suffering of those it claims to benefit. Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, denounced on his X account that this memorandum "Reinforces the economic aggression and blockade that punishes the entire Cuban people and is the main obstacle to our development."

Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The anti-Cuban document released by the U.S. government on June 30, 2025 consists of a reissue and amendment of National Security Presidential Memorandum No. 5 that the U.S. government itself had issued on June 16, 2017, at the beginning of Donald Trump's first term in office.

Cuba categorically denounces and rejects both versions of the infamous document.

The Trump Administration’s “new” memorandum violates the rights of an entire nation and ratchets down every loop hole of Cuba’s right to interact with the nations of the world. They keep throwing these restrictions on the wall to see what sticks in frustration as dignified Cuba stands tall.
