Cuba’s deputy foreign minister has condemned U.S. economic sanctions, calling them an unjustified and severe measure that inflicts widespread suffering on the Cuban people. The official compared the impact of these restrictions to acts of genocide, framing them as a deliberate attempt to undermine the country’s stability and sovereignty. The remarks come amid ongoing tensions between the two nations over trade policies and political differences. Critics argue the sanctions disproportionately harm civilians, while supporters maintain they are a necessary tool for pressuring the government.
