China has condemned the U.S. for its sanctions and embargo against Cuba, accusing Washington of violating international law and disrupting regional stability. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on Tuesday, urging the U.S. to end its actions that deprive the Cuban people of their rights. This criticism follows increased U.S. pressure on Cuba, including tightening sanctions and travel bans, restricting financial dealings, and disrupting Cuba's access to Venezuelan oil after the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The Trump administration is reportedly seeking Cuban officials willing to negotiate a deal that could facilitate regime change by 2026. Cuba's President has stated his administration is not negotiating with Washington.
