Havana, September 3 (RHC) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez denounced the campaign that seeks to deny the existence of the U.S. blockade under the pretext of food exports from the northern nation to the Caribbean territory.

According to the Foreign Affairs Minister, this exchange occurs exclusively under an exception approved by the U.S. Congress with discriminatory conditions.

It is a one-way sale from the United States to Cuba, without the possibility of credit, forcing Cuba to pay in advance and cash. Under licenses approved by the Treasury Department, all incompatible with international trade practices, the Foreign Minister wrote on Twitter.

By legal mandate, the U.S. government is bound to persecute and interfere in Cuba's commercial transactions in any country in the world, hinder necessary financial transactions and undermine maritime transport, he added.

The foreign minister denounced Washington's threats and reprisals against companies of any country that trade with Havana.

It is an iron and overwhelming economic siege. Whoever denies it is not telling the truth', Rodriguez stressed.

Yes, denial of the Empire's strangle hold on Cuba's economy is to deny the obvious reality. The world understands that the Empire is no longer capable of winning wars of imperialism, or of even protecting its own military headquarters. Consequently, in acts of desperation, the Empire tries to control its smaller neighbors, but it's a losing battle. The Empire is crumbling within at an increasingly faster rate. Instead of making war with its neighbors, it should do its very best to make friends, or, in the irony or ironies, those neighbors may end up controlling the Empire.
