CARICOM Calls on Trump to Abandon Anachronistic Blockade of Cuba
By Ulises Canales López, Special Envoy
Saint Mary, Antigua and Barbuda, Dec 8 (Prensa Latina) The prime minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Ralph Gonsalves, urged U.S. President Donald Trump today to abandon the anachronistic economic blockade of Cuba, a demand that will be repeated here by the Caribbean countries.
Prior to the opening of the 6th Summit of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and Cuba on Friday, Gonsalves told Prensa Latina that the meeting will convey 'a clear and unanimous message'.
'The message is that he must give up that anachronism that is rejected by the Cuban and U.S. peoples, it is a remnant of the Cold War and will not change Cuba's policy towards the Caribbean,' he noted.
'It is time to stop obeying the stance of the most irrational elements of imperialism, of Florida politicians,' he underlined in allusion to the anti-Cuba mafia with which the Republican tycoon has aligned.
