In his Twitter account, the head of state showed his gratitude to the U.S. organizations Codepink, The People's Forum and Answer Coalition, which brought about the announcement, described by Díaz-Canel as a beautiful embrace to the Cuban people in the heart of New York.

"Thank you for saying Let Cuba live," wrote the Cuban President on the social network, and in another message he added: "We will not tire of saying Thank you to the noble American people." The action is part of the Let Cuba Live campaign, which this Friday published in The New York Times a letter with more than 400 signatures of personalities in support of the Caribbean nation.

The letter asks U.S. President Joseph Biden to repeal the 243 unilateral measures approved by the previous administration to tighten the siege against the largest island of the Antilles, and has the support of U.S. artists Danny Glover, Susan Sarandon, Jane Fonda and Mark Ruffalo.

1. That Collection Is a Far Cry From The People Of The United States, Ma'am

A pathetic Cold War throwback, laughable and sad all at once.

2. So true. Suddenly events have arranged to remind them how much they hate "commies!"

They had all but forgotten what a terrifying threat communism is to virtuous, nearly saintlike capitalists, due to the distractions of embryocide, and the nightmarish specter of black lives daring to matter!

It must be so hard tending the fires of so many hatreds without one threat or another gaining control of the world.

3. He's thanking those "organizations"?

Well, alrighty then.
