Cuban President Diaz-Canel responded to the US sanctions on the local social media platform on the 4th. Diaz-Canel pointed out in the post that the US president made threatening remarks against Cuba once again; at the same time, the US Treasury Department added more Cuban leaders, organizations, and businesses to its illegal sanctions list. These measures aim to strengthen the blockade against Cuba and escalate the conflict between Cuba and the United States. This political blindness, combined with the mandatory coercion measures against Cuba in recent weeks, is intended to harm the Cuban people. The aggression and despicable behavior of the US government will inevitably encounter the determination of Cuba to resist the imperialist offensive and face the worst situation. The US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control announced earlier that the US had put Cuban President Diaz-Canel, his wife, and the son of Cuban revolutionary leader Raul Castro on the sanctions list.
