SOLIDARITY WITH PEOPLE OF PALESTINE, CUBA, IRAN & VENEZUELA ************************************************************************ The Trump regime has intensified the US war against the people of countries such as Palestine, Cuba, Venezuela and Iran. Its primary weapon has been sanctions which have caused massive hardship. As part of US support for the coup attempt in Venezuela, the Trump administration has enacted a series of harsh unilateral measures. Research conducted in 2019 indicates that US sanctions may have caused over 40,000 deaths in the country between 2017 and 2018. As for Cuba, the invocation of Title III of Helms Burton Act by the Trump administration marks the latest chapter in the decades-long assault on the lives and livelihoods of the common people there. In Iran, wave after wave of crippling sanctions have led to a rise in unemployment and curtailed growth. Among the worst targets of the Trump regime’s policies have been the people of Palestine. Under Trump, the US has backed Israel to the hilt which has in turn unleashed an unprecedented wave of repression against the Palestinian people, especially protesters at the Great March of Return. From shifting the US embassy to Jerusalem to announcing the ‘deal of the century,’ Trump has been an implacable enemy of the rights and aspirations of the Palestinian people.
