Americans are exhausted from seeing how public funds needed to guarantee the well-being of the population are being reduced proportionally to the increase in budgets for war policies, stated Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez.
“The American people are fed up and tired of decades of unjust wars, aggressions, and military operations in which their taxes fund ever-increasing military budgets,” Rodríguez wrote on his Twitter account.
He highlighted that this weariness was reflected in a U.S. poll, where 61 percent of citizens oppose military action by Washington against Cuba, compared to only 13 percent who would support “such belligerent action.”
“The U.S. government should listen to and address the demands of the majority of its population and its voters, as they pledged to do when they were elected,” Bruno emphasized.
At the end of January 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring a national emergency, considering Cuba a supposed “unusual and extraordinary” threat to U.S. security.
The measure, rejected by leaders, governments, and organizations around the world, empowers Washington to impose tariffs on goods from countries that supply oil to the Caribbean nation.
This recent action by the United States has intensified the blockade imposed by the White House for more than six decades, deepening the energy, social, and economic crisis in Cuba.
The White House occupant’s offensive has resulted in an outpouring of international solidarity with the Cuban people, who are receiving supplies and food sent from Mexico, Venezuela, among others.
