US EMBASSY BRIDGETOWN: The United States is committed to holding accountable Cuban regime officials, foreign government officials, and others for facilitating forced labor in Cuba’s medical missions.
By participating in these programs, despite known human rights abuses, foreign governments become complicit in the regime’s tactics.
Their actions directly contribute to the abuses of Cuban workers.
There are alternative methods available for Caribbean nations to recruit foreign medical workers and ethically meet the healthcare needs of their people.
The United States calls on all governments and peoples to reject forced labor schemes and join us in demanding accountability and respect for human rights.

The first paragraph of this press release makes it clear how the US feels about the Cuban Medical Mission and how they will treat with governments that are involved in the mission. We have already seen Antigua and Barbuda turning to Ghana in Africa under pressure, in order to replace the Cubans we had in the country and other Caribbean countries are doing the same, some even turning to the Philippines. All the while, there are conflicting stories about the fate of our students studying in Cuba. One thing for certain – they are now experiencing more hours without electricity than they are accustomed to at home, while the US continues to put pressure on Cuba and choke them for oil.
Sorry, I will never agree that because the US says Cuba is carrying out forced labor by sending medical teams and help within the field of medicine without showing the receipts of that accusation that it is true. This is just another means of sanctions on the Cuban people. Yes, I said the Cuban people, for ultimately they are the ones feeling the heavy hand of the US keeping them down.
What is the US afraid of?
Sovereign nations must have the right of determining who they accept help from, provided that the help does not sabotage the very people giving it. But no, the US is adamant and their big stick attitude seems like if you, a sovereign nation, does not bow to my demands, to dehumanize the country that I hate, then you and your citizenry will likewise suffer. That is sick.
Like the US forgot about the 400 Years project between them and AFRICA
Ain’t Gaston the Wurl Boss, how come he buckle so quick to Trump with all the fat chat he hab
You know who we don’t hear complain about being forced to work? The Cubans
@ Research the History
Don’t be ignorant. The one who purchase Blavk people from Africa was British, French, Spanish, Portuguese Empires back them, they where the one who colonize America. Then the colonies fight the empires and won and became independent. After the 13 colonies became one. They never sail to Africa to do nothing. Yes, they keep slavery that never was started for them, but they change and declare end of slavery after few decades, same time the world was shifting in that direction. Remember they have a civil war, and there was a huge group that wanted to keep slavery and other one who doesn’t want to keep it. We all know there is a lot of white descendents from British and French that where to hateful against Black people. But please it is a historical mistake to mention that USA sail to Africa to trade black people. (Just remember also the black people was sold in Africa for others Black fellas)
We love and appreciate all that has been done by the Cuban Medical Brigade. That is separate and apart from the accusation of forced labour. In fact what the Cuban government has been doing os clearly Human Trafficking. The Cuban Embassy holds all passports of the medical staff. That is human trafficking. Female owners of 2 Strip Clubs in Antigua (one now deceased) were charged and still have pending court cases for doing exactly the same thing with the passports of their dancers.
Secondly, the salaries of the Cuban medical staff are paid to the Cuban government. So let’s not mix up the 2 issues.
@Smith, while America may not have initially started the Transatlantic Slave Trade from the 15th Century (gregorian time, not the Essence of Nature’s Ether time), America profited tremendously after they got in the game.
As a friendly reminder, the Caucasians who were initially brought to America from the slums of Europe, known as INDENTURED SERVANTS could not take the rigorous work under the pressures, of their masters; therefore, the money barons of America got into the Transatlantic slave trade by purchasing their own slaves out of Africa.
Fast forward to today, 2026 (gregorian time) it’s still very evident, as to what Caucasians, even the offsprings of the Indentured servants whom are known as white trash in some circles think of the offsprings of the Africans.
You don’t have to look far in this present day America to comprehend this. The MAGA25 Movement is desperately trying to erase every ounce of the Africans and their contributions to building the USA.
Here are a few examples to prove this point…
A…the removal of literary works by Great African Americans from Museums, libraries, the classrooms.
B…the WOMB to prison pipeline of African American males which supports the judiciary and its human sharks/piranhas known as lawyers.
C…the communities where most African Americans reside are like WAR ZONES due to A & B, aided by the fact, that they’re the conduits which supply Americans who’re addicted to drugs and other vices.
D…this name should come to your mind, if you’re not ignorant to the fact of the AMERICAN EUGENICS MOVEMENT headed by folks like Margaret Sanger.
Have you ever heard of the Tuskegee Experiment, or selective amnesia has frozen some of your brain cells, as well?
Are you learned in the actions of SUNDOWN TOWNS?
E…and Mr or Mrs Smith, may I escort you to Washington, DC, the Capital of present day FASCISM of America, a city whose majority is African American, yet, they don’t enjoy the full voting Rights as American Citizens in any FEDERAL ELECTION PROCESS.
While you’re there, ask the Orange Ape with his sophisticated high end call girl, why he’s so amused at the fact, that African Americans should be depicted as monkeys and it’s cool?
Would you like for white Americans to be depicted as dog covered in lice?

Ahhhh @Smith, your poor soul…Bless your heart. Europe, UK… AMERIKA…, were built on the backs of the folks who struggled in the 400-year project. I cant remember what that period was called, but im sure that some one of these kind folks would enlightened me of this ‘dark’ era…The same one whom we are requestion REPARATIONS…
@Research the History:
You also repeating same crap..Europe wasn’t build by Black..Europe empires existed thousands of years. NOT 400 years ago.
America was colonized by Erupean kingdoms, and was them after eradicate almost all local population who started bringing Black Slaves from Africa.
Spanish was the most dominant ones with more territories conquered, then French, British, Portuguese, Netherlands. USA doesn’t existed 400 years ago IGNORANT.
@Smith plain and simple, ignorance is still very blissful, in the thought processes of many HUEmans; and, this is fine. However, wisdom dictates, that for one to fully grasp the effects of the [bliss], one has to be ignorant and comprehend, the true essence of what has driven one to become #blissful.
HUEman civilization and humanity itself began on the ALKEBULAN CONTINENT, now renamed Africa after the cave dwellers on the European Continent began to be civilized by those from ALKEBULAN. Less you forget, and archaeologists and anthropologists will educate on such, that Europe was still a FROZEN TUNDRA when the ALKEBULANS were already building great Nations.
Now kindly research the MOORS and their influence on such nations as Spain; and please don’t mention the Romans for they only came into Civilization not but 2000 years ago (Gregorian time, not the time through which the Essence Of Nature’s Ether brought WISDOM, to HUEmanity)!
Please do me a favor, if you so choose to respond to me Vere “Garrat_Bastard” Edwards, please use your incorporated STRAWMAN NAME, otherwise, go fuck yourself and learn the facts, of HUEmanity and not the regurgitated puke.
