Government of MexicoThe Government of Mexico regrets the decision of the United States to apply for the first time in history Title III of the Helms-Burton Act, which, as of May 2, will allow U.S. citizens to file lawsuits against companies that make use of properties confiscated after the Cuban Revolution in 1959. The measure may affect foreign companies doing business in and with Cuba, so the Mexican government will protect Mexican companies that do or have an interest in doing business with Cuba and could be affected. As it has done historically, Mexico rejects the application of unilateral trade laws with an extraterritorial character because they violate the norms of international law. In this regard, Mexico reconfirms its support for the end of the economic and commercial blockade imposed on Cuba. (Ministry of Foreign Relations, April 17, 2019. Translated from the original Spanish by TML.)
