Leonid Slutsky: “White House spokesman Jen Psaki said that the United States intends to adjust its policy towards Cuba in accordance with the events taking place there, the revision of the approach continues. According to her, it is important for Cubans to understand that the United States supports them.
Statements by a White House spokesman about the events in Cuba are the height of cynicism and political irresponsibility.
The economy of the Cuban state has been under severe pressure for decades due to the American trade embargo introduced in the last century. Despite all this, Cuba has survived and continues to develop.
Any socio-economic problems in Cuba are caused primarily by the sanctions against it. If the United States is looking for the culprit, then they just need to look in the mirror. The so-called “support” of the US residents, whether it be Cuba or any other country, steadily turns into riots and upheavals. Because in reality we are not talking about “support”, but about interference in internal affairs. Let’s call a spade a spade.
President Obama’s attempt to ease the pressure on Cuba was actually sabotaged by Congress at one time, Trump, in turn, only strengthened the restrictions. Now, the Biden administration is “reviewing policy.” As practice shows, every time it gets worse.
At the end of the spring session, the State Duma reiterated its call to lift the trade blockade on Cuba. This is our consistent position, Russia will not stop demanding the abolition of this senseless vestige of the Cold War. “
