HAVANA: Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel on Sunday denounced Washington’s pressure campaign against his country as a “genocidal policy,” accusing the United States of seeking to “appropriate” the island. On top of a decades-long embargo, the United States under President Donald Trump has drastically ramped up pressure in recent months on its communist southern neighbor, imposing an effective oil blockade and biting sanctions.

El presidente de Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, compara al Gobierno de EE.UU. con los nazis y lo acusó de aplicar una "política genocida".

El pronunciamiento se dio en el marco de la celebración del 73º aniversario del ataque al cuartel Moncada, llevado a cabo en 1953 por Fidel Castro.
