In his message on social media X, Rodriguez noted that the Cuban people, relying on the support of the international community, recognize that the current situation in relations with the US government poses an unusual and serious threat.
The head of Cuba's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned US policy, calling it anti-Cuban and neo-fascist. He emphasized that Washington's actions threaten not only Cuba's national security but also that of other countries, and pose a threat to "the survival of humanity in the face of nuclear danger and climate change."
On January 30, US President Donald Trump announced a state of emergency, citing a threat to national security from Cuba. This decree allows for the imposition of additional tariffs on goods from all countries supplying oil to Cuba.
