The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America - Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP), issued a statement in which it categorically rejects the recent executive order of the President of the United States that seeks to impose a total blockade on fuel supplies to the Republic of Cuba.

It points out that this measure is “under the threat of applying arbitrary tariffs against countries that maintain legitimate trade relations with Cuba, in violation of international free trade rules; as well as the sovereign prerogatives of each State.”

Below is the full text of the statement:

The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) categorically rejects the recent executive order of the President of the United States that seeks to impose a total blockade on fuel supplies to the Republic of Cuba, under the threat of applying arbitrary tariffs against countries that maintain legitimate trade relations with Cuba, in violation of international free trade rules; as well as the sovereign prerogatives of each State.

This action, which is part of the historic policy of economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba, seeks to subject an entire people to extreme living conditions. Far from subduing the Cuban people, these actions, which have been repeatedly and almost unanimously condemned by the international community, have demonstrated the resilience, dignity and firmness of a nation that defends its independence and its right to build its own political, economic and social project, without external interference, threats or aggression.

The member countries of ALBA express their solidarity and support to the Government and the people of Cuba, and reiterate their firm commitment to International Law and the Charter of the United Nations, as well as to the defense of multilateralism, fair trade and unrestricted respect for the sovereignty of peoples.

ALBA confirms that the solidarity, cooperation and unity of peoples will continue to be stronger than any unilateral coercive measure.
