Donald Trump: "The United States will not stand idly by while Cuba continues to overthrow democracy in the Americas"

"On this day of Cuba's independence, we support the Cuban people in their quest for freedom, democracy and prosperity. The Cuban regime must end its crackdown on Cubans and Venezuelans. will not sit back and continue to overthrow democracy in the Americas! "writes Donald Trump on his Twitter account.

The president started the lawsuit after the US government activated Title III of the Helms-Burton Act in early May, allowing Americans to sue people who benefit from land and confiscated buildings in national courts. after the revolution of 1959, which could harm the foreign companies present in Cuba.

This move against multinationals operating on lands or buildings expropriated by Cuba threatens to discourage foreign investment in the Caribbean country and undermines its increasingly stifled economy.

In his message, he again condemned the influence of the Cuban regime on Chavez's dictatorship. Venezuela, Havana's main partner and supporter, is in an unprecedented crisis that could jeopardize subsidized oil shipments that contribute about half of its daily energy demand of 130,000 barrels.

It is because Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro started their strategic alliance in 1994, a union that has survived them. Since then, the Cuban regime has sent thousands of agents to administer the power structures of Caracas: intelligence services, armed forces, health system, economy. Thus, the dictatorship of Castro penetrated into the structures of the Venezuelan state thanks to the open door offered by President Chávez and maintained by Nicolás Maduro. "Since then, Caracas has paid the" Cuban task "with barrels of oil.

Last December, Luis Almagro, secretary general of the Organization of American States (OAS), denounced the fact that Cuba had exported its "terrorist mechanisms" to Venezuela and that its agents were at the head of the tortures inflicted on the prisoners policies. The diplomat said Havana "exposes the mechanisms of terror and repression that Cuba uses against its own people and exports silently to the rest of the region."

This is the third year in a row that Trump has issued a message on the occasion of Cuba's independence, which his predecessor, Barack Obama (2009-2017), did not do during his tenure, but commemorated other leaders, such as George W. Bush (2001-2009), Bill Clinton (1993-2001) and George HW Bush (1989-1993).

In 2003, after his son Bush published a message on this occasion, the official newspaper "Granma" called him "Führer" and recalled that this event was not celebrated on the island .

As he then said "Granma", May 20, 1901 was a "sad and embarrbading" day in which a "caricature" of a republic was delivered, as a result of the destruction of the Party founded by José Martí and disarmament of the Island Liberation Army that led the war against Spain until 1898.

Trump has frozen the process of normalizing bilateral relations with Cuba initiated by Obama, and has restricted trade and travel on the island, among other problems
