Cuba Condemns Recent Extension of the Blockade

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez today condemned the one-year extension of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States on the island.

On the social network X, Rodríguez described the siege as a genocidal policy maintained against the Cuban people for more than six decades and emphasized that Cuba is not a threat, but the blockade is.

"The renewal of the so-called Trading with the Enemy Act until September 2027 is not a minor administrative act, but rather the confirmation that Washington persists in its purpose of suffocating an entire nation," he wrote.

He also noted that the extension comes at the most cruel moment of the U.S. offensive against Cuba in recent years.
