00:03We go live to Cuba with the arrival at this hour of the Nuestra America Convoy or America Convoy,
00:08the humanitarian initiative aimed at delivering essential supplies to Cuba,
00:12particularly during the economic and energy crisis the country is facing.
00:17The flotilla, organized by leftist groups and supporters,
00:20seek to transport food, medicine, and other basic supplies while challenging the U.S. blockade.
00:26It also aims to alleviate the shortage of food and medicine and highlight the challenges faced by the Cuban population.
00:35The Nuestra America Convoy is an international coalition of individuals and organizations
00:41dedicated to delivering critical humanitarian aid to the Cuban people.
00:46Cuba has been pushed to the point of imminent humanitarian collapse.
00:50The United Nations has warned our guiding principles remain unchanged,
00:54to be present, to support, to act based on cooperation, respect for international law, and the U.N. values.
01:02This is what the organization's most senior officials said in Cuba on February 5th,
01:08drawing on these principles.
01:09The Nuestra America Convoy aims to bring urgent relief to the Cuban people.
01:14Convoy that departed Thursday is transporting food, medicine, hygiene products, and solar panels
01:22collected by various civil society organizations to send them to Cuba,
01:28which is currently facing economic deterioration and ongoing blockade imposed by the United States
01:36during the loading process.
01:38The representatives of the flotilla sharply criticized U.S. foreign policy,
01:45citing the bombing of countries like Iran and Lebanon,
01:48the genocide in Palestine,
01:51and threats to nations such as Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia.
01:57The activists for their power emphasized the purely humanitarian nature of their actions.
02:04It also criticized the attitude of U.S. President Donald Trump,
02:09asserting that he is filled with his hatred, his violence, his bombs, and his weapons.
02:14In this context, during her daily press conference on Thursday morning,
02:19Mexican President Claudia Chainbaum defended her support for Cuba
02:24and emphasized Mexico's right to maintain commercial and humanitarian relations
02:30despite the U.S. oil and energy blockade against the Caribbean island.
02:37So the Nuestra America flotilla is selling into Havana Bay
02:43in a historic gesture that proves that Cuba today is not alone,
02:49that people continue to support Cuba across the world.
02:52So as the Trump administration ramps up its assault on the island
02:57and is campaigned to isolate its people,
03:00consequences of the U.S. siege are lethal for newborns and parents,
03:05for the elderly and the sick.
03:07Intense care units and emergency rooms are compromised,
03:11as are the production, delivery, and storage of medicine.
03:17The Nuestra America flotilla, or our America flotilla,
03:21was originally planned as a fleet of ships selling to Cuba with aid,
03:25but due to mass international participation,
03:28it expanded into the Nuestra America convoy,
03:31a multi-route operation by sea, air, and land.
03:35The convoy converged in Havana last March 21st, 2026,
03:42and aid has already started arriving with flights from Europe,
03:45with medical supplies,
03:46ships from places like Mexico carrying food, medicine, and solar panels.
03:50The total aid expected from this our America convoy
03:55is around more than 20 tons of supplies in total.
04:01The goal of this humanitarian flotilla
04:04is to relieve immediate suffering,
04:07pressure governments internationally,
04:10and symbolically break the isolation around Cuba
04:14imposed by the Donald Trump administration.
04:19So we continue to see life as the flotillas,
04:28as the vessel from the convoy
04:29that departed, as we were saying, since last Thursday,
04:33has entered the Bay of Havana.
04:34We're seeing images from within the Bay of Havana
04:37as it approaches the docks of the Havana Bay
04:40to proceed with the unloading.
04:42We're seeing all the activities,
04:44several activities from numerous countries around the world
04:46are currently on board that vessel
04:48that says, as we were saying, since Thursday,
04:52from Mexico.
04:54It was due to arrive on Sunday.
04:56It was due to arrive on Sunday.
04:58However, due to technical issues during the travel,
05:06it had to be postponed a little bit, the arrival.
05:09And we're seeing in this morning of Tuesday, March 24th,
05:14the vessel arriving with the activists
05:20and so much needed international aid,
05:23as we were saying, this has been as part of a show
05:26of demonstration proving that Cuba is not alone,
05:28that the world, the peoples of the world,
05:30stand with Cuba in its moment of need.
05:33Of these actions, not only this vessel
05:36that is arriving today,
05:37but all the flights with international activists
05:41that have been arriving over the past week
05:43at the International Jose Marti Airport,
05:45as we were saying, the convoy,
05:47what was to be first a small flotilla
05:50that will attempt to break the U.S. blockade against Cuba
05:54became an international coalition of solidarity aid
05:58for the Cuban people in its moment of dire need
06:01after the U.S. government under the administration
06:04of Donald Trump strengthened the blockade,
06:09especially the oil blockade,
06:12preventing any oil from entering the country
06:15and also punishing third countries
06:18that would send oil to the country
06:19by the threats of high tariffs
06:22and to designate them as an enemy, so to speak,
06:27with that imposition of high tariffs
06:30which would really much impact the economy
06:33of any nation that would be willing to send oil,
06:37to sell oil to Cuba.
06:39In this context, in the face of this,
06:41of course, this shortage of oil,
06:43as we have heard the president of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel,
06:46no oil shipment has entered the country
06:50since early December.
06:53Of course, that shortage of oil brings about
06:55a lot of impacts and hardships in the country
06:59through all infrastructure,
07:02through all different sectors.
07:03It affects not only the power generation,
07:07but also it affects transportation, food.
07:09Everything is based on oil in today's economy,
07:13and therefore it is a clear way to asphyxiate,
07:17a policy of asphyxiation of the country
07:21to try to bring down,
07:22to bring to their knees the Cuban people,
07:25but as Cuba has shown over and over again
07:28in the last, in the over six decades of U.S. blockade,
07:32is their will to resist,
07:33and also as the international community,
07:35the real international community has shown,
07:37is their willingness to stand by Cuba
07:40and to support Cuba,
07:41which is the images that we are seeing today
07:44is a clear example of that,
07:45that today Cuba is not alone.
07:48Today, as has always been,
07:49Cuba has friends in the world
07:51that are willing to act
07:53to provide the so much needed help and support.
07:56So we are seeing the arrival of this vessel,
07:59as we were saying of this,
08:00our American, Nuestra America Flotilla,
08:02arrived in Havana.
08:03It's already very close near the docks
08:06of the Havana Bay
08:08to proceed with the unloading
08:10of the most important needed humanitarian aid
08:13that this vessel is bringing,
08:15the vessel that sets sail,
08:16as we were saying,
08:17since Thursday,
08:17and it's all part of the great convoy,
08:21the great our American convoy
08:22that is about solidarity aid,
08:26the willing,
08:27the humanitarian,
08:28as well,
08:29of the people of the world
08:30to provide help
08:31to a people,
08:33to the Cuban people,
08:34in their time of need.
08:35The convoy,
08:36as we were saying,
08:38participants of the convoy
08:40have been arriving
08:40by air, land, and sea
08:42since last week.
08:44We saw the first planes arrive
08:46with humanitarian aid
08:47on Tuesday last week,
08:48and over the days
08:50and over the weekend,
08:52more and more people
08:53have gathered here in Havana
08:55bringing this so much needed
08:57humanitarian aid,
08:59and also the importance
09:01of what it represents,
09:03what it represents
09:04the willing to go
09:05against the U.S. blockade,
09:07to go against the U.S. imperialist policies,
09:10and to break through
09:11and continue providing help
09:13and showing what humanity,
09:15what humanity can achieve,
09:17standing together
09:18and moving as a unison,
09:20as a block
09:21to help the peoples of the world
09:24to continue to provide solidarity.
09:26Actions like this,
09:27we have also seen them
09:28with different crises
09:30that are taking place
09:31in the world.
09:32We have seen important movements
09:34of solidarity movements
09:35and taking actions
09:37to bring desperate,
09:39needed help
09:40and supplies
09:41to other areas of the world,
09:42and in this case today,
09:43we are seeing the arrival
09:44of this flotilla
09:46in Havana
09:47to provide
09:49all the different things
09:51that are in shortage
09:52due to the U.S. blockade.
09:54We are talking about food,
09:55medicine,
09:56hygiene products,
09:58solar panels,
09:58which we have seen
09:59a drive coming from
10:01the Cuban government
10:02to very quickly
10:04try to transform
10:06the energy matrix
10:07of the country
10:08to turn them
10:09into a renewable source
10:10energy matrix,
10:12especially solar
10:13with wind and water,
10:15to be able to be
10:17independent and sovereign
10:18so that the policies,
10:19the coercive policies
10:21coming from the U.S.
10:22does not have
10:23a greater impact
10:25on the Cuban energy
10:28infrastructure
10:28and the Cuban
10:31infrastructures in general.
10:32We have seen,
10:33as we were saying,
10:34they are delivering
10:34as part of this
10:35human terrain
10:36that this vessel
10:37is bringing,
10:37they are delivering
10:38as well as solar panels.
10:39We have seen
10:39lots of solar panels
10:41farms being installed
10:44across the country,
10:46and as the president
10:47of Cuba has reported
10:48in his last press briefing,
10:51he reported
10:51the advancements
10:52of the solar panel system
10:55that due to the strength
10:57of the crisis
10:58of the U.S.
10:59blockade imposed
11:00on the country
11:01and the energy
11:02by clade especially,
11:04the results are not
11:05yet visible,
11:06but he said
11:07that if the solar panels,
11:09this strategy of investment
11:10to transform
11:12the energy matrix
11:13into a renewable source
11:13did not exist,
11:15the impacts
11:16would have been
11:16much, much worse.
11:18So we continue
11:19to see these activists,
11:22international activists
11:22from different parts
11:23of the world,
11:24they are arriving
11:25in the vessel
11:25which I believe
11:26has already dug
11:27in the port of Havana
11:28within Havana Bay,
11:30the capital of Cuba.
11:31We are seeing them
11:32carrying the Cuban flag,
11:34the Palestinian flag,
11:35as we recall,
11:36the struggles
11:36of the people,
11:37the struggle
11:38of the Palestinian people
11:39is always
11:39in the minds
11:42of every international
11:43activist across the world
11:44to denounce
11:45the criminal genocide
11:46that the Palestinian people
11:47are suffering
11:48in the eyes
11:49of the so-called
11:50international community,
11:51and while international
11:52so-called international
11:53governments
11:54that say to be
11:55the vanguardist
11:56of humanitarian law
11:58are actually allowing
12:00for that genocide
12:00to take place
12:01in Palestine,
12:02they are also allowing
12:03for these criminal actions
12:06against Cuba
12:07to take place
12:08as well
12:09with this energy blockade
12:10as they have,
12:11as that so-called
12:13international community
12:14have stood
12:15utterly by
12:16in the face
12:17of the U.S.
12:18aggressive policies
12:20against Cuba,
12:21against Iran
12:23right now.
12:26Yet the people,
12:27the peoples of the world,
12:28the people
12:29also from the U.S.,
12:30as we have seen
12:31in the polls,
12:32people in the U.S.
12:35also condemn
12:36these coercive,
12:38aggressive policies
12:39of the U.S. government,
12:40of the Trump administration
12:41against the Cuban people,
12:44against the Caribbean island.
12:46So any moment now,
12:47the vessel
12:48should be completely tucked
12:49to proceed
12:50with the unloading
12:52of the,
12:54of this important
12:56humanitarian aid.
12:56As we were saying,
12:57the convoy
12:57as a whole
12:59is bringing
13:00about 20 tons
13:01of humanitarian aid.
13:02And what makes it
13:03even more important
13:05is that all
13:06this humanitarian aid
13:07has been collected
13:08by social movements
13:10and international organizations
13:12in different countries.
13:14There has been
13:15an action,
13:17a strategy,
13:18an action
13:19of the people,
13:20of the organized people
13:21of the world
13:21to come
13:22and provide
13:23the much-needed
13:24help,
13:25aid
13:26that the Cuban people
13:27right now need
13:27in the face
13:28of the strengthening
13:30of the U.S. blockade
13:31and energy,
13:32and the energy blockade
13:33that is currently
13:34being implemented
13:35by the Trump administration
13:36against the Caribbean island.
13:38We are seeing
13:39the vessel
13:40being in the final stages
13:42of the docking process.
13:43We are seeing
13:44that it's being
13:46tied to the dock
13:47as the final process
13:49is about to be completed.
13:51We can see
13:52that the activists
13:53are still
13:54on the roof
13:54of the vessel,
13:57but they are starting
13:58to move,
13:58getting ready
13:59to onboard
14:03and complete
14:04the journey,
14:05officially complete
14:06the journey
14:08to Cuba
14:09when they touch
14:10Cuban soil,
14:12when they onboard
14:14from the vessel
14:15and walk
14:16on Cuban soil.
14:20So these actions,
14:21the convoy in general,
14:22not only the vessel
14:23that we're witnessing today,
14:24but the convoy in general
14:25that has been,
14:26as we were saying,
14:26has been arriving
14:27by sea, air,
14:29and land
14:30since last week,
14:32has important implications.
14:34Our American convoy
14:36reflects a deepening
14:39and deepening
14:40global south solidity
14:41in response
14:43to the unilateral
14:44progressive measures.
14:47In our region,
14:49specifically,
14:49in the Latin American
14:50and the Caribbean,
14:52it reinforces
14:53the lack of principles
14:54of non-interference
14:55and regional self-determination,
14:59countering the attempts
15:00to isolate progressive
15:03government,
15:03especially coming
15:04from the U.S. government
15:05and its lackeys
15:06in the region.
15:08Globally,
15:09the mission,
15:11taking into a perspective
15:13outside of our region,
15:17in the world,
15:19the mission challenges
15:20the normalization
15:21of the implementation
15:22of the use
15:23of economic blockades
15:25as foreign policy tools,
15:27as we have seen them
15:27being used
15:28by the U.S. over and over
15:31and also by its allies
15:33as well,
15:34following the mandates
15:35of the U.S.
15:36to pressure
15:36the countries,
15:38the governments
15:38that do not go against their,
15:40that do not follow their line,
15:42that go against
15:43their interests,
15:44that the governments,
15:46that the countries
15:46that wish to be sovereign,
15:48that wish to follow
15:49their own path
15:50of development,
15:51which,
15:52as we know,
15:53the hegemonic empires
15:55cannot allow this
15:56to thrive
15:56because they lose
15:57their power
15:59in the international arena
16:00and this is a way
16:02to challenge
16:02that normalization
16:04of the use
16:04of economic blockades
16:06as a tool
16:07to pressure
16:09all these foreign nations
16:11that work for the people
16:14that work
16:14to create
16:15their own path
16:16of development.
16:18It also
16:19challenges
16:20the normalization highlights.
16:22It also highlights
16:23the impact
16:24that this kind
16:25of policy
16:26of blockade
16:26has on the people,
16:27the impact it has
16:29on the humanitarian costs
16:30and questions,
16:31their legality,
16:32as well,
16:33under international law.
16:35It amplifies calls
16:37in forums
16:38like the UN General Assembly
16:39where every year,
16:41every single year,
16:43the General Assembly
16:44votes
16:45in its vast majority
16:49against the U.S.
16:51blockade
16:51as they call
16:53for the respect
16:54of sovereignty,
16:56of the sovereignty
16:57of nation.
16:58They call
16:59for the respect
16:59of the self-determination
17:00of the peoples
17:01of the world.
17:03As we were saying,
17:05this country
17:05that is converging
17:06in Havana
17:07strengthens the networks
17:09among progressive movements,
17:11trade unions
17:12and civil society
17:14potentially influencing
17:15future coordinated actions
17:17on issues like
17:19death relief,
17:21climate justice
17:21and anti-imperialist resistance.
17:25It also,
17:26for the Cuban people,
17:27for Cuba
17:28as a nation,
17:29impulsors resilience
17:30and morale
17:31amid the ongoing crisis.
17:34It is a clear message
17:36of the Brotherhood
17:37and continued commitment
17:39to continue to support,
17:43to stand by the Cuban people
17:45and to stand by
17:46the Cuban revolution
17:48in a way.
17:49So,
17:50we are seeing
17:50the boat is fully
17:51is fully docked
17:54in the port of Havana.
17:58This is the
17:58is docking
18:00in what is called
18:01in Havana
18:02the cruise terminals,
18:03a place where
18:03cruise ships
18:04before the Trump administration
18:05would arrive
18:07in the city
18:08and this is the area
18:08where they would dock.
18:10We must recall
18:11previous to the Trump administration,
18:13cruise ships were
18:14during the Obama times,
18:15cruise ships were allowed
18:16to enter
18:18the ports of Havana
18:19but after the first term
18:21of the Trump,
18:23of President Donald Trump,
18:24he removed
18:26all these permissions
18:27and forbade
18:29cruise ships
18:30in a way
18:30for arriving
18:31as we know
18:32the implementation
18:32of the Helms-Burton's law
18:34within the blockade.
18:36Within the blockade
18:37do not allow ships
18:38to dock
18:39in Cuban ports
18:41and any ship
18:42that docks
18:43in a Cuban port
18:44cannot dock
18:44in a U.S. port
18:45for six months.
18:47That's why
18:48cruise ships
18:49are no longer
18:50entering Havana.
18:51This is the area
18:52that is known
18:53as we're saying
18:54in the capital
18:55of the country
18:56as the cruise terminal.
18:58So we are seeing
18:59now the activists
19:02onboarding the vessel
19:03as they are standing
19:05on Cuba's salt

25:41that's where
25:42Fidel met Che
25:43that's where
25:43they were able
25:44to reorganize
