The Government of Mexico reiterated its rejection of the application of this rule in violation of International Law and reaffirmed its commitment to legally protect Mexican companies that may be affected. In an official communiqué issued by the Ministry of Economy of that country, it is recalled that in order to counteract the extraterritorial effects of the Helms-Burton they have the "Law that Protects Trade and Investment of Foreign Standards that Contravene International Law", in effect from October 1996.

"Like other countries, Mexico analyzes the corresponding legal instances to file actions for the violations of International Law that the Helms-Burton Act represents," the Mexican Government's Communication states.

The Islamic Republic of Iran also confirmed its support for the island. "Washington demonstrated, once again, that it resorts to any illegitimate instrument to pressure independent countries," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Seyed Abas Musavi said.

According to precise PL, an academic from the Chinese University of Political Science and Law, Pan Deng,
He assured that the Trump government pressures Cuba and hits the entire international community with its extraterritorial nature.

For Deng, the measure is an act of reincarnation of the colonial era that goes beyond trying to suffocate the Caribbean nation, is hiding in the alleged violation of human rights to impose unilateral sanctions and goes against the principle of the World Trade to avoid barriers to business, exchange of goods and services between the different states of the planet.

The General Assembly of the organization "Friends of Cuba", of Belgium, adopted a resolution demanding that the European Union and its Member States use all possible ways to protect companies and their citizens from the legal consequences of the judicial processes in the US territory and the organizations of the Belgian civil society are invited to join in the support to the Cuban Revolution.

Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla once again thanked on Monday, through his Twitter account, "the widespread international rejection of governments, companies and figures against the Helms-Burton Act."

As our President Miguel Diaz-Canel affirmed: "The threats, sanctions, measures, falsehoods and lies made by the US Government. against Cuba they have not found support in political, academic, cultural, business and religious sectors inside and outside the US territory ». (Granma)
