"Having become emboldened after its imperialist intervention in Venezuela, the Trump administration is now intensifying its aggression against Cuba, with the ridiculous argument that it is "facing aggressive actions." In this context, the US is considering imposing tariffs and sanctions on countries that supply Cuba with oil and other vital commodities, as well as a "naval blockade" of the Island of Revolution.
This is an attempt to intensify the economic and commercial strangulation of Cuba, to generalize the deprivation and shortages faced by the Cuban people as a result of decades of condemnable embargo by the US and its allies, as well as the additional measures taken by the Trump administration, following on from previous ones, such as the inclusion of Cuba in the unacceptable "list of states that support terrorism."
The KKE condemns the new threats of US imperialism against Cuba. We express our solidarity with the Cuban people and the Communist Party of Cuba. We call on the Greek people and youth, and the peoples of the whole world who have always stood by Cuba, to step up their struggle. To demand an end to the criminal blockade of Cuba and the immediate removal of Cuba from the unacceptable "list of states that support terrorism." In the face of the intensification of US aggression, we shout "Cuba is not alone! Hands off Cuba!".
