‘We love Cuba, we can lift the blockade against that island, please, we want that good energy openly flowing as soon as possible,’ the artist tweeted.
Among the various messages of support for Cuba, he said, ‘Hand me one of those CUBANS (cigars).’
He also referred to the rapprochement between Washington and Havana that took place during Barack Obama’s administration, but unfortunately, former President Donald Trump arrived and ‘killed the dream’, he said.
According to Gibson, he is a proud voter of the #BidenHarris ticket and now expects good results from their administration.
Solidarity- Cuba reaffirms its commitment to nuclear disarmament
Cuba reaffirmed its commitment to nuclear disarmament by signing on Thursday the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).
According to the Cuban Foreign Ministry’s website, the country’s ratification expresses its support for the complete and effective prohibition of all explosive tests, other sophisticated methods and subcritical trials.
With the action, Cuba also confirms its condemnation of the rise in expenditures to enhance such experiments, while calling for the closure of the facilities used for such purposes and their associated infrastructure.
Cuba is a State Party to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and the Chemical and Biological Weapons Conventions.
The CTBT, once in force, will contribute along with those deals to the efforts for the total, transparent and irreversible eradication of those artifacts, the source referred.
Cuba belongs to the first densely populated zone in the world to be declared a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone.
In addition, Cuba reaffirms the validity of the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace, adopted at the 2nd Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, held in Havana in 2014.
