Havana accuses Trump of "state terrorism"

Observador12 September 2026 at 13:32

Havana accused former President Donald Trump of practicing "state terrorism". The accusation was made by Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Díaz-Canel publicly denounced the United States embargo against Cuba, the oil blockade and the sanctions imposed on the island as part of a "genocidal plan" against the Cuban people.

The Cuban leader's statements come in the context of prolonged tensions between the United States and Cuba, relations that have been marked by decades of economic embargo and hostile diplomatic relations.

Díaz-Canel's message was transmitted on the occasion of a significant date for the United States, underscoring the Cuban government's position regarding American foreign policy towards the island.

Why this matters

This accusation comes in the context of renewed diplomatic tensions between Cuba and the United States, directly affecting Cuban readers living under the mentioned sanctions and facing severe economic difficulties. Díaz-Canel's rhetoric reflects the Cuban government's strategy of mobilizing domestic and international public opinion against US policy, at a time when the island is going through a deep crisis.
