Albares says Spain will defend its companies in Cuba and rejects sanctions

Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs José Manuel Albares stated on Tuesday in New York that the Spanish government will protect its companies operating in Cuba. During his remarks, Albares explicitly rejected the use of force against the island nation and opposed the extraterritorial application of laws affecting these businesses.

The declaration highlights Spain's commitment to safeguarding its commercial interests in Cuba while maintaining a diplomatic stance against external legal pressures that impact its private sector. The minister's position underscores a policy of protecting economic ties despite broader international geopolitical tensions surrounding the Cuban government.
