The Government of Cuba rejected this Wednesday, March 6, the extension of the Executive Order, issued by the then President of the United States in 2015, Barack Obama, which declares Venezuela an “unusual and extraordinary” threat to the security of the North American nation.
Through his account on the social network X, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Cuba, Bruno Rodríguez, stressed that this document has served to apply more than 900 sanctions against Venezuela, which threaten the Venezuelan Welfare State.
“We reject the extension of the Executive Order of the U.S. government that has served to apply unilateral coercive measures against # Venezuela, under the unfounded pretext of being a threat to U.S. national security and foreign policy,” Rodríguez said in his message.
The President of the United States, Joe Biden, notified his country's Congress this Tuesday, March 5, that he intends to extend Executive Order 13,692, declaring Venezuela “an unusual and extraordinary threat” to the security of his country, “beyond March 8, 2024.”
