Chilean President criticizes U.S. sanctions against Cuba and Venezuela

During the European Union and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) summit in Brussels, Chilean President Gabriel Boric discussed the U.S. sanctions against Venezuela and Cuba.

He expressed that the sanctions do not contribute to resolving the issues in these countries.

Speaking before fellow world leaders, Boric emphasized the significance of multilateralism and an unconditional respect for human rights, regardless of a government’s political leaning.

He underlined the region’s need for collective action and thinking to solve problems rather than exacerbate them.

He argued that unilaterally imposed sanctions do not contribute to the solution.

The statement came amidst Boric’s ten-day European tour, which includes stops in Spain, Belgium, France, and Switzerland.
