Cuban President Criticizes U.S. Sanctions and Accuses It of Seeking to Seize Island
Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel condemned the United States' intensified sanctions and oil blockade against Cuba, describing them as a 'genocidal policy' aimed at seizing the island. These measures, increased after the U.S. military's removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, have led to declines in tourism, foreign investment, and currency inflows. The U.S. cites Cuba's alliances with Russia and China and alleged regional security threats. Diaz-Canel made his remarks during celebrations marking the 73rd anniversary of the 1953 Moncada barracks attack.
