Havana, June 30 (Prensa Latina) Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez denounced today that the Presidential Memorandum signed by Donald Trump reinforces the policy of aggression and tightens the economic blockade against Cuba, with detrimental effects on the entire population and its development.
In his X account, the Minister of Foreign Affairs wrote that “The Presidential Memorandum against #Cuba released today by the US government reinforces the aggression and economic blockade that punishes the entire Cuban people and is the main obstacle to our development. It is criminal conduct and violates the #HumanRights of an entire nation,” he stressed.
U.S. President Donald Trump signed a memorandum today that strengthens his administration’s hardline policy toward Cuba and reverses measures implemented by his predecessor, Joe Biden.
The directive, released in a statement by the White House, will implement a legal ban on U.S. tourism to Cuba, while supporting (and reinforcing) the economic, commercial, and financial embargo against the Caribbean nation.
The presidential memorandum emphasizes that it “reestablishes and strengthens the strong Cuba policy implemented during his first term” and that it will ensure compliance “through periodic audits and mandatory record-keeping of all travel-related transactions for at least five years.”
It also specifies that it opposes requests at the United Nations and other international forums demanding the lifting of this hostile policy.
With this memorandum, the Republican president renewed the ban on any direct or indirect financial transactions with Cuban entities such as the Business Administration Group SA (GAESA) and its subsidiaries.
