Artemisa, Cuba - The US blockade against Cuba has been lacerating the welfare of Cuban society for more than half a century and thereby slowing the development of the island's economy, a genocidal policy that during the last two years the US president, Donald Trump, has intensified with the imposition of restrictive measures and attacks against the Caribbean nation.

After announcing the dismissal of his national security adviser John Bolton, the US governor posted a message on Twitter in which he showed the intention to continue and harden the already wide range of sanctions and pressures against the island and Venezuela.
