Cuban FM blames US for tenacious embargo

Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla on Jan 20 tweeted that the US is intensifying the economic, financial and commercial embargo as part of its anti-Cuban policy.

Such moves are giving rise to humanitarian and economic crises, he said, adding they are having negative effects on the Cubans at home and abroad and Americans as well.

Ten days earlier, the US administrations imposed an additional ban on airline travel to Cuba in order to heighten pressure on the country.
