华盛顿州民主党众议员普拉米拉·贾亚帕尔和伊利诺伊州民主党众议员乔纳森·杰克逊在一个国会代表团从古巴返回后表示，美国对这个岛国的经济限制构成了“美国非法实施的燃料封锁”，并“实质上是对该国基础设施的经济轰炸”。
这两名议员在为期五天的古巴访问行程结束后，公开谴责了他们所称的岛上人道主义危机，并认为这场危机与美国对古巴的禁运有关。
“美国对距离美国以南90英里的古巴实施的非法燃料封锁，加剧了世界历史上持续时间最长的制裁，给古巴人民带来了难以言喻的苦难，”这两名议员在周日的一份声明中表示。“三个多月来，美国阻止了一滴石油进入古巴。这是残酷的集体惩罚——实质上是对该国基础设施的经济轰炸，造成了永久性损害。必须立即停止这种行为。”

“我们亲眼目睹了保育箱中的早产婴儿，他们体重仅两磅，面临着巨大的生存风险，因为他们的呼吸机和保育箱没有电力就无法运转，”他们继续说道。“孩子们无法上学，因为没有燃料供他们或老师出行。癌症患者因缺乏药物无法接受救命治疗。由于几乎没有电力抽水，该国出现了水资源短缺。企业纷纷倒闭。家庭无法冷藏食物，岛上的粮食产量仅能满足民众需求的10%。”
此番表态之际，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普近几周来升级了对古巴的施压运动，称这个岛国是一个“失败国家”，并暗示在美国近期对委内瑞拉和伊朗采取军事行动后，“古巴将是下一个目标”。
此次访问之前，贾亚帕尔和纽约州民主党众议员格雷戈里·米克斯提出了一项法案，禁止在未经国会批准的情况下使用联邦资金对古巴采取军事行动。

贾亚帕尔和杰克逊表示，他们与各个阶层的古巴人进行了交谈，包括家庭、宗教领袖、企业家、民间社会组织、古巴政府、拉美和非洲大使、人道主义援助组织，甚至包括持不同政见者。
“各个领域的人士都一致认为：必须立即结束这种非法封锁。我们认为，大多数美国人不会希望以我们国家的名义继续这种残酷和非人道的行为，”这两名议员表示。
两人补充说，古巴政府“已经发出了许多信号，表明该国正处于一个新的时刻”。
“我们在那里期间，迪亚斯-卡内尔总统释放了2000多名囚犯。古巴政府已经开始通过重大改革放宽经济管制，其中包括允许古巴裔美国企业家在古巴的私营企业投资。创业活动大幅增长，中小型私营企业如今占据了经济的很大一部分，”声明中写道。

“值得注意的是，古巴政府已经邀请联邦调查局介入，对一起致命的快艇枪击事件展开独立调查，”声明继续说道。“阻碍古巴取得进展的剩余障碍，现在取决于美国是否改变其过时的冷战时期针对古巴的胁迫性经济措施和军事施压政策。”
贾亚帕尔和杰克逊进而表示，“真正的改革只能来自开辟一条新的道路”。
“美国和古巴必须立即展开真正的谈判，为古巴人民的尊严和自由提供保障，同时通过两国之间的真正合作，为美国人民带来巨大的利益，”他们总结道。

Reps. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., and Jonathan Jackson, D-Ill., said after a congressional delegation returned from Cuba that U.S. economic restrictions on the island represented an “illegal U.S. blockade of fuel” and “effectively an economic bombing of the infrastructure of the country.”
The lawmakers, following their five-day delegation to Cuba, spoke out against what they described as a humanitarian crisis on the island that they argue is linked to the U.S. embargo.
“The illegal U.S. blockade of fuel to Cuba—90 miles south of the United States—adds to the longest embargo in world history and is causing untold suffering to the Cuban people,” the lawmakers said in a statement on Sunday. “The United States prevented a single drop of oil from entering Cuba for over three months. This is cruel collective punishment—effectively an economic bombing of the infrastructure of the country—that has produced permanent damage. It must stop immediately.”

“We witnessed firsthand premature babies in incubators, weighing just two pounds, who are at tremendous risk because their ventilators and incubators cannot function without electricity,” they continued. “Children cannot attend school because there is no fuel for them or their teachers to travel. Cancer patients cannot receive lifesaving treatments because of lack of medications. There is a water shortage because there is little electricity to pump water. Businesses have closed. Families cannot keep food refrigerated, and food production on the island has dropped to just 10 percent of the people’s needs.”
This comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has escalated his pressure campaign on Cuba in recent weeks, calling the island a “failed nation” and suggesting that “Cuba is next” following recent U.S. military actions in Venezuela and Iran.
The trip came after Jayapal and Rep. Gregory Meeks, D-N.Y., introduced legislation to block federal funds for military action against Cuba without congressional approval.

Jayapal and Jackson said they spoke with families, religious leaders, entrepreneurs, civil society organizations, the Cuban government, Latin American and African ambassadors, humanitarian aid organizations and Cubans across the political spectrum, including dissidents.
“Across all sectors, there is agreement: this illegal blockade must end immediately. We do not believe that the majority of Americans would want this kind of cruelty and inhumanity to continue in our name,” the lawmakers said.
The pair added that the Cuban government “has sent many signals that this is a new moment for the country.”
“While we were there, President Diaz-Canel released over 2,000 prisoners. The Cuban government has begun to liberalize its economy with significant reforms, including allowing Cuban American entrepreneurs to invest in private businesses in Cuba. Entrepreneurship has grown substantially, with small- and medium-sized private businesses now comprising large parts of the economy,” the statement said.

“Significantly, the Cuban government has invited in the FBI to conduct an independent investigation of a lethal speedboat shooting,” it continued. “The remaining obstacles to progress in Cuba now rest with the United States changing our outdated, Cold War-era policy of coercive economic measures and military pressures against Cuba.”
Jayapal and Jackson went on to say that “true reform will only come from charting a new course.”
“The United States and Cuba must immediately enter into real negotiations that provide for the dignity and freedom of the Cuban people and the tremendous benefits to the American people that will accrue from a real collaboration between our two countries,” they concluded.
