Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs, affirmed on Saturday that his country’s foreign policy is peaceful, based on solidarity, and respectful of International Law. He described as “inconceivable” that the world’s largest economic, military, and technological power, the United States, would use the slanderous pretext of feeling threatened by a nation the size of Cuba.
Through his official account on the social media platform X, Bruno Rodríguez emphasized: “Cuba poses no threat whatsoever to any country. Our foreign policy is peaceful, based on solidarity, and committed to peace, friendship, and cooperation. It respects International Law and the UN Charter. It does not attack, threaten, or interfere in the affairs of other states.”
The Cuban foreign minister questioned the consistency of the position taken by the United States government, which on January 29th signed an executive order declaring Cuba an alleged unusual and extraordinary threat to its national security, an argument used to justify new unilateral coercive measures that include the imposition of tariffs on nations that supply oil to the island.
It is inconceivable that the world’s largest and most aggressive economic, military, and technological power could use the slanderous pretext of claiming to feel threatened by a nation the size of Cuba.”
The statement by the head of Cuban diplomacy adds to the numerous international condemnations against the tightening of the blockade and the unilateral measures adopted by the US administration, which have generated pronouncements of rejection from governments, multilateral organizations and solidarity movements around the world.
