Through his Twitter account, Díaz-Canel reflected on these opportunities and shared an article on the clinical study of the Cuban vaccine against lung cancer by the New York-based Roswell Park Institute.

Washington maintains against the island an economic, commercial and financial blockade for over six decades. Such hostile policy was hardened with 243 unilateral measures the Trump administration imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic. Biden’s government has maintained them.

Recently, Cuban scientists sent a letter to President Joe Biden in which they expressed their willingness to collaborate with that nation and mentioned the possibility of an exchange of information on the anti-Covid-19 vaccines developed by Cuba.
