Cuba's President Miguel Díaz-Canel strongly criticized President Donald Trump's recent decision to reinstate Cuba on the US list of state sponsors of terrorism. Díaz-Canel described Trump's actions as 'an act of arrogance and disregard for the truth,' accusing him of perpetuating a 'cruel economic war' against Cuba for domination purposes.
In response to the decision, Díaz-Canel highlighted the negative impact of the economic sanctions imposed by Trump, citing shortages among the Cuban population and a notable increase in migration to the United States. The Cuban president emphasized that the measures taken by the US administration have caused hardships for Cuban families.
Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez also condemned the move, accusing President Trump of making false claims about Cuba's involvement in terrorism. Rodriguez characterized Trump's decision as 'drunk with arrogance' and emphasized that the Cuban people remain resolute in the face of increased punitive actions.
The reinstatement of Cuba on the state sponsors of terrorism list has reignited tensions between the two nations, with Cuba denouncing the decision as unjust and politically motivated. The Cuban government has vowed to resist the economic pressures imposed by the US and expressed confidence in the resilience of the Cuban people.
