STATEMENT FROM CUBA SI NY/NJ COALITION
“A Great Crime is Being Committed Before the Eyes of the World!” The impact of Washington’s economic and political war on Cuba reached a tipping point in October 2024 with the collapse of Cuba’s electric grid at its central Antonio Guiteras power station. The Donald Trump administration (2017-2021), with bipartisan support, significantly deepened US hostility and sanctions, reversing the shift towards US-Cuba normalization from Barack Obama’s second term. The Joseph Biden White House has maintained Trump’s anti-Cuba policies, even as the COVID-19 pandemic devastated Cuba’s tourism industry. US economic pressure and sanctions are the decisive factor in preventing Cuba from accessing the capital to modernize its energy system and overall infrastructure. DOWNLOAD STATEMENT
GET CUBA OFF THE SSOT LIST NOW!
Cuba has endured 64 years of a U.S. economic blockade.This intensified when President Trump unjustifiably put Cuba on a list of so-called State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT).President Biden has continued that listing. Companies worldwide that want to sell medicines or food to Cuba often can’t because their own bank refuses to accept Cuba’s payment under threat of enormous fines from the U.S.treasury for dealing with “terrorists.”
Tell Biden that he must, with a stroke of his pen, remove Cuba from this arbitrary list.
