According to The TT Guardian, the secretary general of the Joint Trade Union Movement (JTUM) unsuccessfully tried to leave the letter at the security post, but plans to send it by mail to the diplomatic headquarters.
The leader said that the text was signed by the JTUM and eight other organizations, and it is a call to the US president, Joe Biden, to remove Cuba from the unilateral list of countries supposedly promoting terrorism.
The signatories are calling for reversing all hostile policies passed under former Republican President Donald Trump and reinstating those of Democrat Barack Obama.
«We in Trinidad and Tobago, and in the rest of the Caribbean Community have been affected by these actions of the United States, since our companies have stopped doing business with Cuba (…) for this reason we sue President Biden again (…) “Remove the knee from the Cubans’ necks and let them breathe,” he said.
Warwick said that no effort is in vain and that his action joins the call of the international community against the economic, financial and commercial blockade imposed by the United States on the island.
Yesterday and last week, Trinidad and Tobago’s Foreign Minister Amery Browne also spoke out in support of Cuba and called for it to be removed from the list of sponsors of terror.
He even stressed that there is no justification for maintaining this measure.
