The Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Cuba repudiates in the strongest terms the measures announced by the government of the United States on June 4, 2019, which reinforces the economic blockade imposed on the island for more than 60 years, at a cost for the Cuban economy that in 2018 exceeded 134 billion dollars at current prices and the figure of 933 billion dollars, taking into account the dollar´s depreciation against the value of gold in the international market.

 

The US economic war against Cuba, which has lasted almost 60 years, has caused Cuba losses of more than 134 billion dollars at current prices, according to an official source.

 

Russia will help Cuba face the US sanctions that restrict group travel to the Caribbean nation.

 

As part of its ongoing escalation against Cuba, at the request of President Donald Trump, the U.S. Treasury Department announced new restrictions on Tuesday on US travel to the island, banning some education and cultural trips.
