Through a Trump executive order, the U.S. has imposed a total blockade on oil supplies and is threatening any country that attempts to supply oil to Cuba with heavy punitive tariffs.

 

This provocation continues the long history of aggression and blockades that U.S. imperialism has waged since the victory of the revolution in 1959. But now this has been formalized within the framework of the National Security Strategy with the “Trump Corollary”, immediately following its announcement in the criminal attack on Venezuela on January 3. It resulted in more than 100 deaths and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Congresswoman Cilia Flores.

 

This attack has blockaded Venezuela and placed its oil under imperialist control, preventing it from continuing supplies to Cuba.

 

U.S. imperialism under the government of the fascist Trump is shifting from a trade war to what it calls “enforcing peace through violence.” In doing so, it intervenes in sovereign states and ultimately intensifies the oppression of peoples and threatens them, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean, which it regards as a key region in the struggle for supremacy with China. Conflicts and flashpoints are increasing worldwide. This is part of the intensification of inter-imperialist contradictions in the struggle for hegemony. Capitalism, in its imperialist stage, can no longer exist without aggression and war.

In light of this grave situation of new restrictions that Cuba is facing—which have already led to a humanitarian crisis affecting not only production and transportation but also the health of the population—the greatest active solidarity from the international working class and the peoples of the world is required.

 

For we are confronting fascism in the U.S. itself and in an increasing number of countries, and the dangers of a new world war are intensifying.

 

Long live internationalist solidarity!

The Cuban people are not alone!

Yankees out of Latin America and the Middle East!

No to fascism and No to imperialist war!

Against capitalist-imperialist barbarism—let us intensify the struggle for socialism!

 

An addendum to the Monroe Doctrine, which states that the U.S. will prevent non-hemispheric competitors—particularly China and Russia—from owning or controlling strategically significant assets such as ports, telecommunications networks, energy facilities, raw materials, and resources in the Western Hemisphere.
