The U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, tried to convince the world of what he considers “good intentions” of his government by making what he calls a “comprehensive evaluation” of some 188 countries about human trafficking, but he did not explain who. authorized Washington to do so.
The report on the Fight against Human Trafficking written by Blinken's Department, corresponding to 2024, suffers from the validity of so many lists provided about this and other phenomena that afflict Humanity.
These are arbitrary lists, based on the arrogant perspective of the officials of a country that acts as a global gendarme, “in charge” of dictating political systems and procedures to other countries.
The most recent version of what Washington calls the Fight against Human Trafficking emphasizes imposed concepts and reiterates Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua as responsible for human trafficking.
“Judge” Blinken launches again against the export of services from Cuba, especially health collaboration with other peoples.
This altruistic practice of Cuba has become an obsession of a series of residents of the White House and the extreme right of the Cuban emigration in Miami.
The arbitrary reports of the State Department ignore the voluntariness of these health professionals and that their movements to other lands respond to agreements between sovereign countries.
As the Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez pointed out on the social network X:
"With such artifices, the United States seeks to freeze non-humanitarian and non-commercial aid and obstruct possible loans from multilateral entities."
"The writing of this type of report represents a politically motivated exercise based on illegitimacy."
The U.S. empire, with tens of thousands of soldiers in bases located throughout much of the planet, has not been commissioned by the UN or any other body to judge others, although Blinken ignores that fact.
In the case of Cuba, the same government that points towards Havana in its inventory, almost entirely applies the tightening of the blockade dictated by Donald Trump, adversary of President Joe Biden.
