Cuban president describes US Helms-Burton Act as an illegal policy
Havana, Mar 12 (Prensa Latina) Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel on Friday described the Helms-Burton Act, enforced against Cuba by the United States for 25 years, as an illegal monstrosity . The President tweeted, Today marks 25 years of infamy, in reference to the signing on March 12, 1996, of the regulations that internationalized the economic, commercial and financial blockade against Cuba.
The act was signed by then US President William Clinton (1993-2001), and due to its extraterritorial nature it is considered a violation of numerous statutes of international law regarding political and economic relations.

Neither solidarity nor freedom for Cuba promotes Helms-Burton Act
Havana, Mar 11 (Prensa Latina) Although its name is the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act, neither one nor the other promote the US law known as the Helms-Burton Act, which turns 25 on March 12.
The measures implemented against foreign companies and individuals for the sole fact of trading with Cuba, the lawsuits established under that law and the pressures to avoid foreign investment in Cuba, confirm its aggressive and extraterritorial nature.
Signed in 1996 by US President William Clinton (1993-2001), the Helms-Burton Act has been, since its inception, a brutal and illegal mechanism that tries to suffocate the Cuban economy and damages third countries in that process, as the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs has denounced.
