The U.S. has described Cuba’s Medical Export Program as “forced labour”, a form of “human trafficking” and has accused the Cuban government of accumulating profits while medical professionals work under exploitative conditions.

As a consequence, the U.S. government announced an expansion on visa restrictions targeting Cuban and foreign officials involved in Cuba’s overseas labour export program.

Speaking about the matter on Mar. 6^th, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Rt. Hon. Dr. Denzil Douglas, affirmed that the Cubans are in SKN earning an honest living:

Minister Douglas made this declaration:

The Hon. Dr. Denzil Douglas.

SKN has diplomatic relations with Cuba, which were established on May 10^th 1995 and enjoys visa-waiver access for a period of 27 days, according to the Federation’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs website, foreign.gov.kn.
