Worldwide rejection of an infamous accusation
Havana, Jan 22 (RHC) A few hours after the beginning of his tenure, U.S. president Donald Trump has already reversed the decision to remove Cuba from the list of alleged sponsors of terrorism, which had been signed by Joe Biden a week prior.
The global community has once again voiced its opposition to the recent action, advocating for the restoration of diplomatic ties and the complete removal of the economic, trade, and financial sanctions imposed by the United States.
Venezuelan president Nicolás rejected the decision during a meeting of the Economic Council. He emphasized that, in the face of the new sanctions, Cuba has the backing of Venezuela to continue on the path of progress and create a prosperous and peaceful future.
The Bolivarian nation has already condemned the recent addition of Cuba to the blacklist, issuing a statement that characterized the action as a hostile act that violates the principles of international law and undermines global efforts towards peace and collaboration.
China, for its part, highlighted the absence of justification for the decision made by the U.S. government. Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated that the repeated use of unfounded accusations against Cuba to impose unilateral sanctions fully reveals the hegemonic, authoritarian, and oppressive nature of the United States.
Russia also condemned the actions of the United States against Cuba, through a statement by its Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman for the ministry, stressed that this is not about combating terrorism, as the previous administration in the United States had declared that there was no evidence of Cuba's involvement in international terrorism.
Similarly, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America — the Peoples' Trade Treaty — has also rejected the revocation of Cuba's removal from the list of states allegedly supporting terrorism. They described this action as an act of arrogance that seeks to inflict serious harm on the Cuban people, and demanded that the nation be removed from the list.
The Namibian government expressed its support for Cuba, criticizing the decision made by the U.S. President and stating that it was a questionable strategy to delay the restoration of diplomatic relations between the two neighboring countries.
The call for action resonated across various political factions, solidarity movements, and parties in countries like the Dominican Republic, Argentina, Belgium, Panama, and Serbia. (Source: Granma)
