Cuba's Ambassador to Colombia, Carlos Piedra, has accused the United States of obstructing oil transportation in the Caribbean Sea and engaging in acts of piracy. According to him, measures taken by the US are preventing oil from being delivered to Cuba.
The editorial, citing its source, reports that the ambassador stated that even if not a single drop of oil reaches Cuba, the country will not back down in the face of US pressure. He emphasized that Cuba is determined to protect its political stance and its right to independent decision-making.
In his speech, Carlos Piedra cited the defense of the Palestinian people's sovereignty as an example, noting that Cuba will similarly protect its own sovereignty. In his opinion, international pressure and economic restrictions cannot shake the country's will.
The ambassador's statements indicate the continuation of tension in US-Cuba relations in the region and the deepening of political disputes surrounding energy transportation in the Caribbean basin. This statement is expected to spark discussions within the international community and diplomatic circles.
