Venezuelan Foreign Minister thanks Cuba for its firmness and dignity

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil thanked Cuba and its Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez for their firmness and dignity, as they rejected a new punitive measure against the Bolivarian Republic. 
 
Gil stated on Telegram that his Cuban counterpart condemned “the application of an anachronistic law by the United States government to criminalize and stigmatize Venezuelan migration.”

The Bolivarian foreign minister’s statement responded to a message from Rodríguez on the X platform, where he rejected “the unprecedented invocation, under false pretexts, by the United States government of the Foreign Enemies Act of 1798.”

Rodríguez noted that with this measure, the US government is escalating its “policy of hostility against the government and people of the Bolivarian Republic.”

In a statement published on Sunday, Venezuela rejected categorically the US government’s proclamation, which criminalizes Venezuelan migration in an “infamous and unjust manner.” The Foreign Ministry noted that this act evokes the darkest episodes in human history, from slavery to the horror of the Nazi concentration camps, citing the aforementioned Law.
