Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel on Saturday strongly criticised the United States for its latest move to impose tariffs on countries that supply oil to Cuba, saying the decision is meant to choke the island’s economy.
In a series of posts on X, Diaz-Canel accused the Trump administration of using force as a tool of foreign policy and trying to decide which countries Cuba can trade with. “We condemn in the strongest terms the new escalation by the United States government against Cuba in its determination to impose an absolute blockade on fuel supplies to our country,” he said.
