WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 20th February, 2019) The US government has renewed its proclamation of a state of emergency against Cuba first declared 23 years ago related to regulating vessels, President Donald Trump said in a statement.
"I am continuing for one year the national emergency declared in proclamations.... with respect to Cuba," Trump said on Tuesday. "The unauthorized entry of any United States-registered vessel into Cuban territorial waters and the situation in Cuba continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States."
The proclamation authorizes the US government to continue regulating the anchorage and movement of vessels into Cuban territorial waters, the notice said.
Trump said he was extending a proclamation of a national emergency first declared on March 1, 1996 and modified and expanded in 2004, 2016 and 2018 based on a disturbance or threatened disturbance of the international relations of the United States related to Cuba.
