HAVANA, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) — Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez on Thursday strongly condemned U.S. President Donald Trump's decree threatening tariffs on goods from countries that sell oil to Cuba, calling it a "brutal act of aggression."
“We condemn before the entire world this brutal act of aggression against Cuba and its people, who for more than 65 years have been subjected to the longest and most brutal economic blockade ever imposed on an entire country, and who will now be forced to live in extreme conditions,” B. Rodriguez wrote on social media.
On Thursday, D. Trump signed an executive order that states: “Beginning on the effective date of this order, an additional ad valorem rate of duty may be imposed on goods imported into the United States that are the product of any other country that directly or indirectly sells or otherwise supplies any petroleum to Cuba.”
The order, effective January 30 at 12:01 a.m. ET/5:01 a.m. GMT, defines "petroleum" as crude oil or petroleum products. It authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to determine whether a foreign country sells or supplies petroleum to Cuba and to issue regulations necessary to enforce the order.
