The presenter Alexander Otaola urged President Donald Trump to impose sanctions on travel agencies that operate flights to Cuba in order to "put an end to the mules."
"Good morning to Trump and the world, mundane world. Today, please, against the agencies and trips to Cuba. Beautiful morning to put an end to the mules!" he said on his Facebook wall.
Otaola has called for a demonstration in Washington to express his support for Trump's policies towards Cuba and to denounce human rights violations on the Island.
The gathering is scheduled for next Tuesday, January 28, at Lafayette Square, in front of the White House, and aims to bring together members of the Cuban exile community in the United States.
Trump has already implemented measures that affect Cuba. Shortly after taking office, he signed at least 10 executive orders aimed at fulfilling campaign promises, including the elimination of humanitarian parole and the CBP One mobile app for asylum requests.
Subsequently, reversed the decision made by the Joe Biden administration to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism.
Six days after Biden announced Cuba's removal from the list, as part of an agreement facilitated by the Catholic Church to free political prisoners on the Island, Trump signed the executive order that nullified the "Presidential Memorandum of January 14, 2025 (Certification of Rescission of Cuba's designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism)."
