Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez issued a statement repudiating the decision by US President Donald Trump to end the oil export licenses granted to Venezuela by his predecessor, Joe Biden. In this regard, in a message published on his Telegram channel, the Cuban top diplomat expressed the solidarity of the Cuban people in the face of this new attack against the Venezuelan citizenry.“All our solidarity with the Bolivarian and Chavista Revolution, President Nicolás Maduro, and the Venezuelan people, in the face of this new imperialist attack,” Rodríguez wrote this Thursday, February 27.Trump announced on Wednesday that he will end the oil export licenses granted to Venezuela by his predecessor and explained that these concessions, which benefited the oil company Chevron, will no longer be valid as of March 1.On Wednesday, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez referred to this new measure by Trump as a “harmful and inexplicable decision.”“By announcing sanctions against the US company Chevron, in an attempt to harm the Venezuelan people, they are actually inflicting harm on the United States, its population, and its companies, while also calling into question the legal security of the US in its international investment regime,” she wrote in a public statement.“The constitutional government of Venezuela and its people, in great national unity, categorically reject this type of action publicly requested by the extremist and failed opposition of the country,” she stated. “Venezuela highlights that these types of failed actions drove migration from 2017 to 2021, with widely known consequences.”ALBA-TCPThe 10 member countries of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-People’s Trade Treaty (Alba-TCP), also condemned the US decision through a statement released on Thursday, reported Ultimas Noticias.“On February 26, 2025, in an abrupt and inexplicable manner, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, reversed the oil licenses granted to US oil corporations by the previous government of that country to operate in Venezuelan territory in a public message that denotes that it is a direct retaliation against Venezuela’s position of preserving its sovereignty and self-determination,” reads the ALBA–TCP statement.Below is the full, unofficial translation of the statement:Never before had the almost bicentennial prediction of the Liberator Simón Bolívar on the conduct of the United States been so valid, when he stated in 1829 that the United States seemed destined to plague America [the hemisphere] with misery in the name of freedom. On February 26, 2025, in an abrupt and inexplicable manner, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, reversed the oil licenses granted to US companies by the previous government of that country to operate in Venezuelan territory, in a public message that denotes that this is a direct retaliation for Venezuela’s position of preserving its sovereignty and self-determination.The countries of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA-TCP) categorically reject this interventionist action with extortionate purposes, which seeks to harm the economic, political, and social stability of the sister Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.Venezuela’s VP Condemns Trump’s Revocation of Chevron LicenseALBA-TCP considers it deeply contradictory that the current government of the United States, which boasts so much about its policies to control migration in its territory, imposes measures to affect the oil industry, the heart of the Venezuelan economy, forgetting that similar actions in past years produced significant migratory flows to the United States.By reaffirming their absolute rejection of this imperialist measure, the countries of the Bolivarian Alliance demand unrestricted respect for the sovereignty, independence, and right to development of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, as well as for International Law and the Charter of the United Nations, through the immediate lifting of all unilateral extortionate and coercive measures against the free governments and peoples of Our America and the entire world.-Caracas, February 27, 2025 (Últimas Noticias) by Aliarly Carrillo with Orinoco Tribune contentTranslation: Orinoco TribuneOT/JRE/SL
