Statement in Solidarity with Cuba and Against US Imperialist Aggression.
The Norwegian Communist Party condemns the latest escalation of sanctions imposed by the United States against Cuba. The executive order issued on 1 May 2026, followed by direct sanctions on 7 May against major Cuban economic entities, represents yet another act of imperialist aggression against the Cuban people. These measures target key sectors of Cuba’s economy, including tourism, mining, nickel and cobalt production, and foreign investment. They are designed not only to weaken the Cuban state, but to deepen hardship for the Cuban people.
The Executive Order of May 1st and the Blockade Measures Announced Today Further Increase the Harm to the Cuban Population and Reinforce the Threat of Aggression.
Communiqué issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba
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.
