In a context where the empire is trying to suffocate Cuba, the world is responding with support at the highest levels. Thus, the embrace of solidarity and support persists—even more so and despite the blockade—coming from various parts of the world.

Mexico, from where more than 800 tons of humanitarian aid have recently departed for Cuba, "will always be in solidarity, seeking the best way to support the Cuban people," President Claudia Sheinbaum told the press.
She also insisted that it is in the interest of her government and her people that the consequences of the empire's measures not worsen the situation in the island nation. "That is what we want to convey to the United States government: that it is very important that there not be a humanitarian crisis," she emphasized.

Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov insisted on Monday that "the suffocating tactics employed by the United States are causing serious difficulties" for Cuba. He emphasized, "We are talking with our Cuban friends about possible ways to resolve these problems or, at least, to provide whatever assistance is within our reach."

The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly affirmed its principled position regarding the unacceptability of exerting economic and military pressure on Cuba, including the blockade of fuel supplies to the island, which could lead to a serious deterioration of the economic and humanitarian situation in the country. At the same time, it has maintained its "firm readiness to continue providing Cuba with the necessary political and material support." This was conveyed to the Political Bureau member and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, in a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov.

"China firmly supports Cuba in defending its national sovereignty and security," said Guo Jiakun, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry. He reiterated Beijing’s firm opposition to measures “that deprive the Cuban people of their right to subsistence and development, as well as to inhumane practices."

On numerous occasions, China has urged Washington to stop depriving the Cuban people of their right to development, while emphasizing its confidence that, under the leadership of the Cuban Party and Government, the people will overcome any difficulties.

In a statement, the Venezuelan government rejected the Executive Order, through which the U.S. government "intends to impose punitive measures on countries that decide to maintain legitimate trade relations with the Republic of Cuba." It also expressed its solidarity with the people of Cuba and called on the international community to "address the humanitarian consequences of aggressions of this nature.” "To consider Cuba a threat to the national security of the United States is an absurdity that entails serious threats to its existence as a nation," the document emphasized.

For his part, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva maintained that, for more than 60 years, Cuba has been "the victim of a massacre fueled by US speculation." During the celebration of the 46th anniversary of the Workers' Party (PT), he stated: "Our country stands in solidarity with the Cuban people. We, as a party, must find ways to help."

He also questioned Washington's measures to restrict the island's access to oil, thereby reinforcing the PT's statement that the blockade imposed on the island is "criminal" and advocating for an end to the sanctions and Cuba's full reintegration into the global economy.

Pope Leo XIV, for his part, expressed concern over the escalating aggression by the United States government against Cuba and called for the avoidance of any action that could increase the suffering of the Cuban people.

Meanwhile, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary General of the Arab League, met with the Cuban ambassador in Cairo, Alexander Pellicer, and reiterated his support and solidarity with Cuba in the face of imperialist aggression.

MULTILATERAL SUPPORT

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) asserted that the measures taken by the Trump administration have extraterritorial effects and negatively impact not only Cuba and its people but also third-party states and international economic relations.

In this regard, it reiterated its call to the United States government to end the blockade—which constitutes the main obstacle to Cuba's full development—and eliminate the additional unilateral measures imposed since 2017, including the arbitrary designation of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism, which causes enormous material losses and economic damage to the people of the Caribbean nation.

The NAM reaffirmed its solidarity with the Cuban people and government and urged the international community to uphold international law, multilateralism, and the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations.

The UN "continues to monitor the situation in the country and is working with the government to provide further support, including food, water, sanitation, and medical care." "We are concerned about the growing fuel shortage and its impact on the population," said Stéphane Dujarric, spokesperson for the organization, at a press conference.

The G77 and China reaffirmed their solidarity with Cuba, stating in a communiqué that the measures taken by the U.S. government have clear extraterritorial effects and are contrary to the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and international law. They undermine multilateralism, international economic cooperation, and the rules-based, non-discriminatory, open, fair, and equitable multilateral trading system. At the same time, the communiqué insisted, these measures exacerbate Cuba's difficulties in conducting financial and commercial operations, threatening the livelihoods and well-being of its population.

The Group of Friends in Defense of the Charter of the United Nations rejected the actions of the United States, based on a narrative built on falsehoods intended to portray Cuba as a threat it does not pose, and which seek to deliberately strangle the Cuban economy and inflict further suffering on its people. They recalled that, for more than six decades, the Cuban people have been subjected to the longest and most cruel blockade ever imposed on any country. They pointed out, in turn, that “these measures also demonstrate that the attempt to present the blockade as a mere ‘bilateral trade embargo’ is a distortion of reality that ignores its clearly extraterritorial reach and its profound impact on third countries and on international economic relations.” Finally, they reiterated their unwavering solidarity with the Cuban people and government.

The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA-TCP) categorically rejected the Executive Order of the President of the United States.

"This action, which is part of the historical policy of economic, commercial, and financial blockade against Cuba, seeks to subject an entire people to extreme living conditions. Far from breaking the Cuban people, these actions, which have been condemned repeatedly and almost unanimously by the international community, have demonstrated the resilience, dignity, and resolve of a nation that defends its independence and its right to build its own political, economic, and social project, without external interference, threats, or aggression."

In this regard, the ALBA member countries expressed "their solidarity and support for the Government and people of Cuba, and reiterated their firm commitment to International Law and the Charter of the United Nations, as well as to the defense of multilateralism, fair trade, and the unrestricted respect for the sovereignty of peoples."
