Vietnam is deeply concerned about a new measure announced by the U.S. to impose additional tariffs on goods from countries supplying oil to Cuba, the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson said on Feb. 2.

The measure will have serious impacts on Cuba’s economic and social activities as well as the lives of its people, the spokeswoman Pham Thu Hang said.

Answering reporters’ question on Vietnam’s response to the U.S.’s Jan. 29 announcement of additional tariffs on goods from countries providing oil for Cuba, Hang reaffirmed Vietnam’s support for the resolutions adopted by the United Nations General Assembly over many years calling on the U.S. to immediately lift its unilateral blockade and embargo against Cuba and to take steps towards dialogue and improved relations with the country.

“Once again, Vietnam strongly affirms its solidarity and traditional friendship with the brotherly Cuban people,” she stressed.
