[Cuban Foreign Minister Denounces New US Sanctions as “Genocide” Intent] (1) The United States expanded its sanctions list against Cuba on Monday, adding the Department of Tourism, nine agencies involved in foreign trade, shipping, ports, fuel trade, and the state-owned holding company OSDE CAUDAL. (2) Cuban Foreign Minister Pagliar posted on social media X, accusing the US government of continuing to escalate its “war” against the Cuban people and their livelihoods, saying that the new coercive measures announced on July 13 clearly reflected the intention to punish the entire nation for crimes and genocide. (3) Pagliar emphasized that the blockade is the real threat facing Cuba, not Cuba threatening the United States, and added the hashtag “Cuba is not a threat”; these sanctions are based on an executive order targeting individuals and organizations that the United States has identified as being involved in repression or threatening US national security and foreign policy.
