Trump's Measure Against Cuba Provokes Wave of International Rejection

Global Condemnation Intensifies Against US Executive Order Targeting Cuba's Fuel Supplies
A broad wave of international rejection continues today against US President Donald Trump's executive order imposing tariffs on countries supplying oil to Cuba, a measure labeled as genocidal by various organizations and personalities.

The Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples condemned the measure, stating it uses "false pretexts" to intensify the suffering of the Cuban people, seeking "to achieve the objective of its policy towards the Island."

Criticism from Within the United States
From the United States itself, the Communist Party denounced the policy as "an act of imperialist blackmail," while the Democratic Socialists of America asserted that the order "is not a national security measure, but a form of economic terrorism."

Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib called the measure "an act of extreme cruelty" and declared: "This executive order will kill countless innocent Cubans."

In the same vein, Congresswoman Nydia Velázquez denounced that this policy "amounts to an economic war designed to provoke hunger and suffering."

International Political and Diplomatic Reactions
Meanwhile, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that her government is seeking "all diplomatic avenues to be able to send fuel to the Cuban people," while the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) party confirmed it will maintain its commercial contracts with the island.

Likewise, the São Paulo Forum expressed its "energetic rejection" of Trump's action and denounced the attempt to "revive the Monroe Doctrine." The Communist Party of Brazil, for its part, labeled the measure "economic genocide."

Similarly, former Colombian President Ernesto Samper compared the operation to "the police boot that killed George Floyd," while the Communist Party of Norway expressed its "full solidarity" with Cuba and condemned "the cruel and illegal act of collective punishment."

Legal Condemnation and Cuban Response
The American Association of Jurists (AAJ) emphasized that the order "violates International Law" and demanded an end to the economic blockade and the return of the territory of the Guantánamo Naval Base.

In this context of broad international condemnation, the Cuban Foreign Ministry reaffirmed this Sunday the island's willingness to "reactivate and expand bilateral cooperation with the United States to confront shared transnational threats, without ever renouncing the defense of its sovereignty and independence."
