Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos called the U.S.-backed blockade of Cuba a Cold War-era anachronism, and said the continued isolation of the communist island is unacceptable.
“The isolation, the embargo, the indifference, and looking the other way, have shown their ineffectiveness,” Santos said in a speech at the opening ceremony of the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena. “In today’s world, this path isn’t justified. It’s an anachronism that they are anchored in a cold war that ended decades ago.”
