"The timing was dramatic: Our visit happened just as Donald Trump was attacking Venezuela and seizing its president-and as he was threatening Cuba and even insisting that Marco Rubio could be the next president of the island nation. Venezuela and Cuba are close allies, and cutting off Venezuelan oil supplies will be another economic blow to a country reeling from decades of US boycotts and sanctions."
"During our time in Cuba, we participated in events to commemorate the accomplishments of ICAP, to observe the 67 th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, and to begin celebrating the 100-year birthday of Fidel (in 2026). Besides lectures and seminars (on the Cuban economy, and US-Cuba relations), we engaged in work activities, notably weeding, clearing rocks, and planting seeds in fields surrounding the Camp,"
A delegation of about 120 Cuba solidarity activists from 24 countries stayed at ICAP's Julio Antonio Mella International Camp in Artemisa between December 21 and January 3 to celebrate ICAP's 65th anniversary. The visit coincided with heightened US pressure on Venezuela and threats to Cuba, raising concerns about disruptions to Venezuelan oil supplies and economic impacts on Cuba. ICAP was founded by Fidel Castro on December 30, 1960 to build global solidarity, counter US isolation, and promote revolutionary ideals through exchanges and advocacy. Participants attended lectures and seminars, engaged in field work, and met local sports officials including Hernando Roriguez Silva.
