Cuba's Foreign minister called Trump's memorandum against the country "criminal behavior"

A new memorandum by US President Donald Trump testifies to the intensification of aggression and economic blockade against Cuba, as well as demonstrates the "criminal behavior" of the United States. This was announced on June 30 by the island's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla.

"The presidential memorandum against Cuba, released today by the U.S. government, reinforces aggression and the economic blockade that punishes the entire Cuban people and is the main obstacle to our development," he said in a message on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

He stressed that this "criminal behavior" by the White House is a violation of the human rights of the entire Cuban nation.

One step forward, two steps back: Biden will remove Cuba from the list of countries sponsoring terrorism

After Donald Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, that decision could be reversed

On June 30, Trump signed a memorandum on tightening US policy towards Cuba. It was clarified that the memorandum confirms the ban on tourism from the United States to Cuba, provides for support for the Cuban economic embargo, and also opposes measures to lift it at the United Nations and other international forums. The document also prescribes a review of human rights violations in Cuba, including illegal detentions and inhuman treatment.
