Cuba denounces and condemns new escalation of the economic siege imposed by the United States

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 delivered by the Republic of Cuba at the Security Council Emergency Meeting on the U.S. military aggression against Venezuela. 5 January 2026

 

Mr. President,

Since September last year, Cuba has been denouncing the United States’ hegemonic and criminal plans, and its aggressive actions against Venezuela and the region. We have clearly exposed the serious and unpredictable consequences of the U.S. government’s irresponsible behavior for the political, social, and economic stability of Latin America and The Caribbean, and for international peace and stability in general.
