US blockade against Cuba grows amid the Covid-19 pandemic


Havana, Jul 7 (Prensa Latina) The US does not skimp on means to stop Cuba's development by imposing unilateral measures of extraterritorial blockade, the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX) denounced on Tuesday.

So far in 2020, a period marked by the Covid-19 pandemic as well as a strengthening of calls to end the US economic and commercial blockade against Cuba, Washington applied another eleven regulations, noted the deputy director for the United States of MINREX, Johana Tablada.

With those restrictions, the White House obstructed banking operations and limited the arrival in this country of medical supplies, fuel, donations and other commercial transactions, Tablada pointed out.

The official also referred to a message recently sent by US Senator Marco Rubio, in which he offers 'encouragement to those who live on Cuba in the midst of this crisis due to the novel coronavirus.'
