The Revolutionary Government of Cuba has condemned a new escalation of measures by the United States government aimed at restricting fuel supplies to the country.
In a statement issued in Havana on January 30, the government said an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on January 29 declares a national emergency that would allow the United States to impose trade tariffs on imports from countries supplying oil to Cuba.
The statement said the order includes accusations against Cuba, including a claim that the country poses a threat to United States national security. The government rejected this claim and said it is aware that such assertions are not supported by facts.
