Donald Trump is once again adopting regulations that will lead to a tightening of the economic siege, which violates the human rights of an entire people

The actions of Donald Trump, since he assumed the presidency of the United States for the second time last January 20, have demonstrated his total disregard for the rest of the world, and especially for the Latin American and Palestinian peoples, human rights and international cooperation.
In many countries, including the United States, there is a growing sense of rejection of a president who makes threats, calls immigrants criminals, seeks the forced expulsion of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and in his imperial pretensions seeks to take over territories and change geographical names.
And in this aggressive action of the tenant of the White House has been Cuba, which already during his first term in office from 2017 to 2021 suffered a reinforcement of the inhuman blockade, with more than 240 measures.
Now the president, surrounded by advisers of Cuban origin who have a way of life in their aggression against our country, has returned to the charge. Once again, he is adopting measures that will lead to a tightening of the economic siege that violates the human rights of an entire people.
In a communiqué, ALBA-TCP, Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-Treaty of the Peoples, pointed out that the world is facing "erratic, abusive, criminal and illegal measures, in a totally shameless and unpunished manner, by an administration that promotes hatred and provokes profound shortages for the purpose of domination.
Thus, it has reinstated Cuba on Washington's list of countries allegedly sponsoring terrorism and reactivated the controversial Title Three of the Helms-Burton Act.
As a result, several banks have stopped doing business with Havana and foreign companies have refused to work with the Caribbean nation for fear of being sanctioned.
Naturally, the international community immediately raised its voice to condemn the hostile policy of the new U.S. administration and the provisions that deepen the blockade against the largest of the Antilles, a blockade that it denounces every year at the UN and other international forums.
Thirty-two resolutions condemning the economic siege have been adopted by the UN General Assembly. The last one, last October, was supported by 187 nations.
A survey conducted by the Nicaraguan polling firm M&R Consultores showed that 8 out of 10 Latin Americans reject the policy of blockade against the Cuban people.
Governments and peoples from different latitudes, as well as personalities from different sectors, regional blocs and friendship associations, have expressed their total rejection of the hostility of the United States against Cuba, which has expressed its gratitude for the expressions of solidarity and reaffirmed its intention to move forward despite Washington's aggressive actions.
