Hi there,
In recent months, the US government has escalated political belligerence,
economic war, and military threats against the sovereign states of
Venezuela and Cuba. The New York-New Jersey Cuba Si Coalition protests the Trump Administration’s escalation of restrictions against Cuba and
US intervention in Venezuela.
With the failure of the April 30 US-directed coup in Venezuela, US officials tried to blame Cuba for their own debacle. They falsely claim Cuba has 20,000 troops in Venezuela. What Cuba has is 20,000 doctors and other volunteers serving working-class and rural communities across Venezuela – an example of the international solidarity Cuba practices all over the world.
These lies against Cuba were used as a pretext to begin enforcing a measure—the so-called Title III part of the 1996 Helms-Burton Act—that opens the floodgates for lawsuits by US citizens regarding property nationalized after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in accordance with Cuban and international law. These property claims were all settled by Cuba with the rest of the world in the 1960s – Washington alone refused to settle. US policy was instead to seek the violent overthrow of the Cuban revolutionary government.
The Trump administration has also announced the unilateral cancellation of cruise ship fleets and companies from stopping in Cuba as well as new restrictions on people-to-people exchanges between the US and Cuba. These and other sanctions with an extraterritorial character are already causing hardship in Cuba and are hated around the world.
