On December 29, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez issued a statement from Havana condemning US military escalation and trade obstructions targeting Venezuela, following prior UN Security Council denunciations of incidents like the December 11 oil tanker attack.
Building on Cuba's recent UN Security Council condemnation of US actions—including the December 11 incident involving a Venezuelan oil tanker—Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla issued a statement from Havana on December 29, 2025, as reported by Prensa Latina.
Rodríguez criticized the US maneuvers as driven by geopolitical interests to undermine Venezuelan sovereignty, rather than legitimate security concerns. Amid ongoing regional tensions, Cuba reiterated its support for Nicolás Maduro's government and called for multilateralism over external interventions.
This follows Cuba's broader campaign highlighting US violations of international law and economic pressures on Venezuela. No immediate US response was reported, but the statement aims to rally international attention to the issue.
