Cuba rejects fresh sanctions levied on Friday (May 1) by US President Donald Trump, the island’s foreign minister said, calling them ”unilateral coercive measures” that aim to impose ”collective punishment against the Cuban people.”
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said in a post on X that the measures, made via an executive order earlier on Friday, violate the United Nations Charter, and that the U.S. has no right to impose them against Cuba or third countries or entities.
”They will not intimidate us,” Rodriguez said.
