The Member States of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – People’s Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) reaffirm their strongest and most forceful solidarity with the Cuban people and government, in view of the current energy situation.

The difficult situation that this worthy nation is experiencing today is a consequence of the economic war and the financial and fuel supply persecution by the U.S. administration, which seeks to strangle Cuba in its commitment to the wellbeing of the Cuban people.

The policy of maximum pressure through unilateral coercive measures and the blockade against the sister nation is cruel and inhumane and has been categorically rejected by the majority of the countries of the world, since it clearly seeks a regime change, in blatant violation of the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the rules of International Law. 

The ALBA-TCP Member States express their solidarity and support all the efforts of President Miguel Díaz-Canel and his government team to overcome this difficult moment, as a result of the U.S. aggressions, while calling on all Latin America and the Caribbean to repudiate the illegal and inhumane blockade against the Cuban people.
