Cuba rejects US Presidential Memorandum which tightens the economic blockade
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 the National Security Presidential Memorandum No. 5 that the US government itself had issued on June 16, 2017, at the beginning of Donald Trump's first term.
Cuba categorically denounces and rejects both versions of the infamous document.
London, 25 March.- The longstanding U.S. blockade of Cuba took center stage during a recent debate in the House of Lords of the British Parliament on March 25, 2025, as parliamentarians addressed its economic and political ramifications.

Harare, 24 March 2025- The Cuban Ambassador to Zimbabwe, H.E. Susellys Pérez Mesa, denounced the effects of the criminal US blockade of the island and the coercive unilateral measures against both nations.
In an interview with The Herald, the Head of the Diplomatic Mission assured that the blockade imposed on the largest of the Antilles is the main obstacle to our development as a country, but it is also a flagrant violation of the human rights of its population.
Harare, February 27, 2025- The President of Zimbabwe, Hon. Mr. Emmerson D. Mnangagwa, today demanded the end of the United States blockade of Cuba and its removal from the list of nations that supposedly sponsor terrorism.
In an emotional exchange after the official ceremony for the delivery of the letters of credence of the Ambassador of Cuba, Her Excellency.

Harare, 10 de febrero de 2025- The Zimbabwe Anti-Sanctions Trust stands in unwavering solidarity with the people of Cuba during this challenging time marked by renewed hostility from the United States government. The recent announcement by Secretary of State Marco Rubio regarding the revocation of the suspension on lawsuits under Title III of the Helms-Burton Act is a blatant attempt to undermine Cuba’s sovereignty and economic stability.
Harare, January 29, 2025- The people of Zimbabwe stand in solidarity with Cuba facing another U.S. offensive, states an article in The Pan Afrikanist today.
The hostile economic measures and the decision reincluding Cuba on the arbitrary list of alleged state sponsors of terrorism, it emphasizes, underscores the aggressive nature of U.S. imperialism.
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.
