President of Brazil: US economic embargo against Cuba illegal

In his first trip to Cuba during his third term in office, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva called the embargo imposed by the United States on the island "illegal" and denounced the island's inclusion in the list of sponsoring states of terrorism, reports Reuters .

Former US President Donald Trump included the island nation on the US list of state sponsors of terrorism, and although the Biden administration has reversed other Trump-era measures, it has so far not removed Cuba from the list.

"Cuba has been an advocate of fairer global governance. And to this day it is the victim of an illegal economic embargo," Lula said in a speech at the opening of the G77 Summit of developing countries in the capital Havana. 

"Brazil is against any unilateral sanctions. We reject the inclusion of Cuba in the list of states that sponsor terrorism," he added.

The comments were made just hours before Lula left for New York, where he will attend the United Nations General Assembly and have bilateral talks with Biden./ CNA
