Cuba rejects Trump’s new “coercive” sanctions

-

MEXICO CITY, ‌May 1 (Reuters) - Cuba ​rejects fresh sanctions levied ⁠on Friday by U.S. President Donald Trump, the ​island's foreign minister said, calling ‌them "unilateral coercive measures" that aim to impose "collective punishment against ⁠the Cuban ⁠people."

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said in a post on X that ‌the measures, made via ⁠an executive ‌order earlier on ​Friday, violate the United Nations Charter, and that ‌the U.S. has ​no ⁠right to impose them ‌against Cuba ⁠or third countries or entities. 

"They will not intimidate us," ​Rodriguez said.
