The powerful Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has a lot on his plate these days but today -- April 20th-2023 -- he was in Havana strongly protesting the U. S. economic embargo of Cuba. He says, "The times deep into 2023 should remind us all that imperative powers should not forever be allowed to target much weaker nations. Targeting Cuba for decades by the United States should one day be stopped."
The Andrea Rodriguez/Associated Press article above shows Lavrov in Cuba placing a wreath today to honor Cuba's revoloutionary icon Jose Marti.
The AP reported {above} today that Lavrov "condemned U. S. sanctions against Cuba as he visited the island during the last leg of a Latin American tour that took him to Brazil, Nicaragua and Venezuela."
Above the article by Dave Sherwood/Reuters today reported that, mostly, Lavrov's visit to Cuba was to hold important meetings with "Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel and Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez in Havana, the latest in a series of visits to shore up support among Russia's closest allies in Latin America."
The Dave Sherwood/Reuters article today said that Russia has already sent some fuel and wheat to Cuba and that Lavrov today promised that more "such desperately needed aid" will be sent.
Major powers such as Russia, China, and the United States are aware that Cuba's influence in the Caribbean expands into other nations in Latin America and can be used as a pawn by friends as well as foes. As the wily Sergei Lavrov reminded worldwide News Agencies today, Cuba continues in April of 2023 "to have just one foe, one enemy, and that remains the United States, a fact that the suffering Cuban people understand."
