February 5, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> The Belarusian foreign ministry has issued a statement expressing concerns about energy supplies to Cuba after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on threats from Cuba in late January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington said it would impose new tariffs on any countries supplying oil to Cuba, citing protection of US national security and foreign policy from the Cuban regime\u2019s as reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Minsk remains steadfast in its position that the use of unilateral coercive measures is unacceptable,\u201d Belarusian diplomats stressed today. \u201cSuch measures create obstacles to trade relations between states, hinder the process of comprehensive socio-economic development and impede the well-being of the population.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statement also pointed out risks of humanitarian crisis and unpredictable consequences in the Caribbean in case of further escalation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All disputes should be resolved peacefully, through dialogue and in full accordance with international law, Minsk noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
