Las amenazas de agresión militar contra #Cuba de la mayor potencia del planeta son conocidas.

Ya la amenaza constituye un crimen internacional. De materializarse, provocará un baño de sangre de consecuencias incalculables, más el impacto destructivo para la paz y la estabilidad regional.

Cuba no representa una amenaza, ni tiene planes o intenciones agresivas contra ningún país. No los tiene contra EE.UU, ni los ha tenido nunca, lo que conoce bien el Gobierno de esa nación, en especial sus agencias de defensa y seguridad nacional.

Cuba, que ya sufre una agresión multidimensional de EE.UU, sí tiene el derecho absoluto y legítimo a defenderse de una arremetida bélica, lo que no puede esgrimirse lógica ni honestamente como excusa para imponer una guerra contra el noble pueblo cubano.

Frente a la amenaza del Imperio: ¡Venceremos!

🇨🇺🔊The Executive Order of May 1st and the blockade measures announced today increase the harm to the Cuban population and reinforce the threat of aggression.

Statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejects, in the strongest terms, the Executive Order issued by the White House on May 1, 2026, which intensifies, to extreme and unprecedented levels, the economic, financial and commercial blockade against Cuba.

Likewise, it condemns the decision of the United States Treasury Department of May 7, 2026, which added the Cuban entities Gaesa and MoaNickel SA to the List of Specially Designated Nationals, this being the first coercive measure derived from the order signed on May 1.

This is a ruthless act of economic aggression that amplifies the extraterritorial effects of the blockade, with the potential application of secondary sanctions against foreign companies, banks, and entities, even if their business in the United States has no connection to Cuba. This measure will further hinder the functioning of the national economy, which has already been facing the devastating effects of the oil blockade imposed on January 29, 2026, paralyzing fuel exports to the country.

Acting as the world's policeman and in blatant violation of international law and the fundamental principles of free trade in goods and services, the sovereign right of all states that have or wish to maintain economic, commercial, and financial relations with Cuba is being explicitly, blatantly, and directly attacked. The highest U.S. authorities, particularly the Secretary of State, are attempting to force the international community, through blackmail and intimidation, to submit to and comply with the blockade.

No country is exempt from this threat of extending genocide against the Cuban people, attempting to force Cuba's isolation from the international economic and financial scene.

We warn that this aggression against the Cuban economy and people will only achieve its intended destructive effect if sovereign and independent nations allow themselves to be intimidated and coerced by the United States government. We know that the world will never meekly accept illegal regulations, will not relinquish sovereign equality, nor will it leave its citizens, businesses, corporations, and financial institutions unprotected. The international community has historically opposed and condemned the genocide being perpetrated against the Cuban people by the United States government, a genocide that has lasted for almost seven decades.

We denounce the criminal nature of these aggressive measures aimed at starving and desperationing the entire Cuban population and attempting to generate a social, economic, and political catastrophe on a national scale. We also reject the intention of the United States government to create a humanitarian crisis to justify more dangerous actions, including military aggression against Cuba.

In all international forums, Cuba will continue to denounce the blockade. Likewise, we urge the international community to confront this onslaught, which constitutes a dangerous escalation in the United States' desire to exercise domination and control over Cuba's destiny, violating the independence and sovereignty of all states.

I love these people so much. The crew onboard the Handala freedom flotilla were chanting and singing together just minutes before their abduction by the Israeli forces. They are the best of humanity. We are all Handala.

Mayor Lee called out the injustice of the U.S. embargo against Cuba and pointed to her decades of support for Cuba. BACSN appreciates this show of solidarity by Mayor Lee at a time when the U.S. government is trying to strangle the Cuban economy and destabilize its government.

[The People's Forum @PeoplesForumNYC]

🚨STATEMENT FROM THE PEOPLE’S FORUM! Right-wing Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson has joined other Republican leaders in a major political attack designed to criminalize dissent, and silence those who oppose the Israeli genocide in Gaza, by demanding that the Internal Revenue Service revoke the nonprofit status of The People’s Forum and other organizations. By promoting the Republicans’ blatantly false allegations and demonizing language, reminiscent of the worst part of the McCarthy Era, Speaker Johnson is abusing his office by targeting people in the United States who are only ‘guilty’ of exercising their First Amendment right to speak out against the US government’s policy of financing and arming the Israeli military so that it can carry out the killing spree that has taken the lives of more than 41,000 Palestinians in Gaza, a great number of whom are children and their mothers. People from all political backgrounds and positions should stand together in defense of free speech rights, which are under attack. The political assault against The People’s Forum is part of a larger effort by Republicans and other right-wing forces in Congress to criminalize and demonize Palestinian, Muslim-American, and anti-war organizations. Everyone who believes in justice should stand together and reject this assault on democracy.
