THE Movement of Social Justice (MSJ) has condemned a recent executive order signed by US President Donald Trump to place Cuba back on a list of countries alleged to be engaging in state-sponsored terrorism.
Trump signed this order shortly after his inauguration on January 20.
In a statement, the MSJ political leader recalled that former president Joe Biden took Cuba off the list before demitting office on January 20.
He said, "Trump and his secretary of state Marco Rubio, are hell bent on imposing the 200-year-old Munroe Doctrine on the Caribbean and Latin America."
This doctrine, Abdulah continued, and the US conceived “manifest destiny” is nothing but an imperial and colonial agenda to subjugate every sovereign nation in this hemisphere to exploitation by the US and its big corporate interests.
He was confident the Cuban Government and Cuban people would do everything possible to ensure the survival of the Cuban Revolution and the integrity of Cuban independence and sovereignty.
Abdulah said this was not Cuba's responsibility alone.
"Caricom has a duty to defend our fellow Caribbean nation."
Abdulah recalled an intention by Trump to seize the Panama Canal which has been rejected by the Panamanian government.
In his inauguration speech on January 20, Trump chastised Panama for abusing what he described as the gift of the Panama Canal, which was built in Panama by the US from 1094-1914 under president Theodore Roosevelt, by overcharging US ships that use it and allowing China to control the canal.
"We didn't give it to China, we gave it to Panama, and we're taking it back."
He said if Trump's agenda is allowed to win "our sovereignty will be torn to shreds.'
