Brazil's Lula vows to oppose Cuba intervention

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has publicly condemned the 70-year US economic blockade of Cuba, calling it a 'world shame' that prevents the Caribbean nation from determining its own future. In a statement posted on social media, Lula argued that Cuba has been denied the chance to decide its own destiny since its revolution due to ideological pressure from a major power. This follows his recent declaration opposing any potential foreign military intervention in Cuba, reinforcing Brazil's position against external interference in the country's affairs. The comments come amid ongoing international discussions about Cuba's political and economic situation under the long-standing US embargo.
