The United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) made an urgent call for the unity of parties, social movements, unions, student federations and popular organizations around the world to form a political and diplomatic front in defense of Cuba, in the face of recent unilateral coercive measures imposed by the United States (USA) against the island.

In this regard, through a statement, he alerted governments, parties and movements in Latin America, the Caribbean and the world to the consequences of the recent unilateral coercive measures imposed by the United States against Cuba, especially after the Executive Order issued on May 1, 2026.

He also noted that this action aggravates “to extreme and unprecedented levels” the economic, financial and commercial blockade against the island. At the same time, he denounced that the new measures represent “a crime of aggression”.

In addition, he denounced that the new provisions expand the application of secondary sanctions against foreign companies, banks and entities, even if their operations in the United States are not related to the Caribbean nation.

In the text, the organization also reaffirmed the historic and solidarity ties between Venezuela and Cuba, highlighting the cooperation provided by the island in different areas, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. In turn, he ratified his support for the Communist Party of Cuba and maintained that “Cuba is not alone”, in defense of the sovereignty and stability of Latin America and the Caribbean.

Below is the full statement:

The United Socialist Party of Venezuela alerts parties and governments in Latin America, the Caribbean and around the world to the serious consequences of the recent unilateral coercive measures imposed by the United States government against Cuba, specifically the effects of the Executive Order issued on May 1, 2026, which aggravates to extreme and unprecedented levels the economic, financial and commercial blockade that has tried - without success - for more than 60 years to break the sovereign will of our sister republic.

From Venezuela, we denounce this action as a crime of aggression that adds to the energy embargo launched since January 29 and multiplies the already sufficiently pernicious extraterritorial effects of the blockade, by increasing the application of secondary sanctions against foreign companies, banks and entities, even if their businesses in the United States have no relationship with Cuba.

We are united to Cuba by centuries of history and common culture, deeply rooted in our peoples, exalted by the permanent and priceless actions of solidarity and cooperation that Venezuelans have received from Cuban friendship, even in the most remote places, where needs became uncontrollable, and at the most critical moments when Fidel and Chávez often combined sagacity and wisdom, strength and vision of the state with the greatest feelings of love for humanity, to bring relief and hope to those who demand it without importing beliefs, ideologies or skin color.

Faithful to the internationalist spirit that guides the Cuban revolution, its professional health teams risked their own lives to bring relief to other countries during the COVID-19 emergency, even to the most conceited Western powers that succumbed to capitalist ambition. President Díaz Canel was the first courageous voice to rise up to condemn the military aggression against Venezuela on January 3rd and demand the immediate release of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, the deputy Cilia Flores.

Only Humanity has taken Cuba across borders. It only deserves to receive respect and solidarity from those who cross its beautiful coasts full of color and life. Love with love pays off.

For this reason, from the PSUV, we make an urgent call for the unity of parties, movements, unions, student federations, cultural and popular spaces around the world; we must stand on an immediate, political and diplomatic common front, to dissuade the attempt to build a forced scenario of “humanitarian crisis” in Cuba as an excuse to escalate to greater aggression, including the military threat of unpredictable consequences.

Cuba is not alone. Today, more than ever, it is essential to assert this maxim in safeguarding the lives of 10 million Cuban and Cuban brothers and in defense of the stability, sovereignty and peace of the entire Latin American and Caribbean region. We join our strength with the Communist Party of Cuba, its leadership and militancy in this hour of firmness and patriotic clarity.

Caracas, May 19, 2026

Cuba Will Win! And together with it, Humanity will overcome!

Long live sovereign Cuba!
