The Cuban government has firmly rejected new sanctions levied by United States President Donald Trump, calling them “unilateral coercive measures” intended to impose “collective punishment on the Cuban people”.

In a post on social media on Friday, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said that “these measures are extraterritorial in nature and violate the United Nations Charter”, while further asserting that the US “has no right whatsoever to impose measures against Cuba or against third countries or entities”.
