July 11 (teleSUR) Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodriguez, rejected the new sanctions imposed by the United States government against Cuba as part of the continuation of its aggressive measures against the island. The high official described this new package of sanctions as part of a prolonged and merciless economic war against Cuba, reaffirming that his country and its leaders will not bow down despite the aggression. In turn, the Cuban government pointed directly at the Donald Trump administration for promoting a strategy of regime change through a policy of economic asphixiation in an attempt to provoke destabilization actions in the country.
In this context, the US Department of State announced that it will impose a new package of sanctions against the President of Cuba, Miguel Diaz Canel, the Ministry of Revolutionary Armed Forces, and the Ministry of Interior of Cuba. The sanctions include direct visa bans for family members of those sanctions as well as measures limiting the travel of members of the Cuban judicial and prison systems.
