Cuba Under Siege. Emergency Speak Out Against US Oil Blockade of Cuba, Feb. 28

 

After 67 years of assisting the world, Cuba asks for our help; the world must respond now.

Leaders (religious, civic, political, labor, etc.) and governments from around the world have denounced the lethal oil blockade. 

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canal declared: “This new measure demonstrates the fascist, criminal, and genocidal nature of a cabal that has hijacked the interests of the American people. With a mendacious and unfounded pretext, spread by those who profit from the suffering of our people, Trump intends to strangle the Cuban economy by imposing tariffs on countries that trade oil.”
