Cuba on Friday declared an "international emergency" in response to a U.S. executive order threatening tariffs on goods linked to Cuba.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla said the situation represents an "unusual and extraordinary threat" originating largely from the "U.S. anti-Cuban neo-fascist right wing."
He added that the threat endangers not only national security and foreign policy but also international peace and human survival amid nuclear risks and climate change.
The executive order, signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday, warns of tariffs on countries that sell or supply oil to Cuba.
