Cuba expects compensation equivalent to damages, which total many millions of dollars, as our country has stated with irrefutable arguments and data in all of its speeches at the United Nations, says former Cuban president

Havana : Cuban leader Fidel Castro has reminded the US that it owes damages to Cuba totalling “millions of dollars”, and pledged that his country will never stop fighting for peace and the well-being of all humanity.

In a message published on Thursday, his 89th birthday, the former Cuban president said the US owes a huge debt to Cuba, including damages reaching millions of dollars due to the trade embargo, which his country has made clear with irrefutable proof and arguments during appeals to the United Nations, reported Xinhua.  In an article titled “Reality and Dreams”, Castro said US social justice must be consolidated so that all people may have access to education, health, nutrition, culture, security, and the right to worship regardless of the colour of their skin or country of origin.

The veteran revolutionary also denounced wars and recalled the millions of casualties that the erstwhile Soviet Union and China suffered during World War II, as well as immense material losses.
