is a truly comprehensive and prolonged economic war, aimed at depriving Cubans of their livelihoods and sustainability. Also of their existence as a supportive, cultured, and joyful people,\u201d he added.<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who claims otherwise is deliberately lying, he emphasized. The very promoters of this war boast of its destructive effect and its ability to strike at the living standards of an entire people from any corner of the planet, he argued.<\/p><div id=\"antig-3228758311\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"IMG_0783\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally he also pointed out that \u201cit is cynical that the United States government, for purposes of political and economic coercion, labels Cuba a state sponsor of terrorism.
