Peru's Popular Unity party has condemned threats against Cuba by US President Donald Trump and called on Peruvian and Latin American people to unite in its defense.
From Lima, Peru's Popular Unity party issued a statement firmly rejecting recent threats against Cuba made by US President Donald Trump. This position was announced on December 15, as reported by Prensa Latina.
The party's declaration emphasizes the need for regional solidarity against what they view as external interference in Latin American sovereign affairs. 'We strongly condemn the threats by President Trump against Cuba and call on the Peruvian and Latin American people to unite in its defense,' the official message states.
This pronouncement comes amid ongoing diplomatic tensions between the United States and Cuba, where economic blockades and pressure policies have been persistent issues on the international agenda. Popular Unity, known for its left-leaning orientation, aims to bolster hemispheric cooperation in support of the Caribbean island.
The Peruvian party's response highlights the importance of regional autonomy and opposition to any form of imperialist aggression, aligning with similar stances from other progressive movements in Latin America.
