SOURCE: RADIO HAVANA CUBA- Antigua and Barbuda strongly condemn the re-inclusion of Cuba on the illegitimate U.S. list of countries allegedly sponsoring terrorism, a decision made by Donald Trump hours after assuming the presidency for the second time on January 20.
The rejection of the neighboring Caribbean nation was reiterated in St. John’s by Senate President Alincia Williams Grant during a recent meeting with Cuban Ambassador Sergio Martinez, to whom she also expressed her rejection of the U.S. blockade against the people of the Greater Antilles.
Antigua and Barbuda’s support for the Cuban people, two sister Caribbean nations, is historic.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has emphasized that he does not like to speak of friendly relations with Cuba, but of family relations.
There is close bilateral cooperation in construction, water management, electricity and health, the latter of which began in May 2000 and has been much appreciated by the population.
Cuban health professionals work in two hospitals on the two main islands of this archipelago, which also received assistance during the COVID 19 pandemic.
At this complex moment, a brigade of the Henry Reeves International Contingent arrived in the area to assist their Antiguan counterparts in the fight against the disease caused by the new coronavirus.
Likewise, young people from that nation have benefited from scholarships granted by Havana to study medicine in Cuban universities.
The two countries have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for bilateral cooperation in the fight against natural disasters and the preservation of the environment.
In this regard, the citizens of Antigua and Barbuda have not forgotten the valuable assistance provided by Havana after the devastating passage of Hurricane Irma in 2017.
Cuba and Antigua & Barbuda maintain excellent relations of friendship and cooperation, a reflection of the strong ties between the Caribbean nations.

Glad to see Antigua and Barbuda standing firm with Cuba. I love unity.
Glad to see Antigua and Barbuda standing firm with Cuba
Hope this stance doesn’t lead to unintended consequences for Antigua and Barbuda.
The U.S. terrorism list decisions have always been controversial.
Let’s be real about the “relationship”
Antiguan students get scholarship to attend sub par medical education there in Cuba, while there’s medical schools here allowing them to practice in the US and make much more money and benefit their families or just themselves more! Plus, they’re better doctors with an actual DOCTORATE. Not an MBBS which is just a bachelor’s that can be used in only every other country except the US.
And the “health professionals” brought from Cuba to work benefits the Cubans more… they are paid below standard pay but it’s a lot for them!! And they are anything from nursing assistants to Doctors who have the same bare minimum MBBS training to serve the Antiguan population.
LOOK AT HEALTHCARE HERE!!!
It’s a benefit to both Bernard’s Antigua saves money on making more doctors over there, saves more money bringing poor doctors from there to hear to work for peanuts of what they’d ask make in the US and good for Antigua to have more help but that’s only good for both nations who accept the bare minimum!!
Real talk!!
