Havana, May 30 /Xin Hua/ — Cuba is a peaceful country and does not pose a threat to either the United States or any other country. This was stated on Friday by the Cuban Association of the United Nations Organization (ACNU).
“The U.S. government knows perfectly well that Cuba does not represent an extraordinary threat to the U.S. or any other country. We are a peace-loving nation, and Cuba constantly demonstrates its peaceful stance,” said ACNU head Norma Goicoechea at a press conference in Havana.
The speech concerns an order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on January 29, according to which an oil blockade was imposed on the island, and Cuba was called an “unusual and extraordinary” threat to the United States.
The head of the UNHCR warned that any military intervention would lead to the death of civilians, including children, women, the elderly, disabled people, and other vulnerable groups of the population.
N. Gojkochea also criticized the “illegal and misleading” accusations recently made by the US Department of Justice against the former Cuban leader Raul Castro. He was accused of being involved in the order to shoot down two planes of the anti-Castro organization “Brothers to the Rescue” in 1996.
At the time of the incident, 94-year-old R. Castro held the position of minister of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba. Havana asserts that the planes were shot down in Cuban airspace and that the country exercised its legal right to self-defense.
The association called on the international community to demand an end to the American blockade of Cuba, the removal of the country from the list of state sponsors of terrorism, and the repeal of the US presidential decrees dated January 29 and May 1, 2026.
