They also refer to a health reform that would leave 23 million people without health insurance, wage inequality between men and women; marginalization of immigrants and refugees, and international commitments to tackle climate change are unknown. The arbitrary arrests of dozens of prisoners at the Guant\u00e1namo Naval Base in Cuba, a territory still illegally occupied by the United States, are again denounced. They also mention the incursion into conflicts in the Middle East.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">It is alluded to, as has been done on previous occasions, that the American President is &#8220;again badly advised&#8221;.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">This has been the restrained response hours after the statements of the President of the United States, but anticipates that &#8220;subsequently&#8221; will do &#8220;a deeper analysis of the scope and implications of this announcement.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The statement ends by ensuring that the necessary changes in Cuba &#8220;will continue to be decided sovereignly by the Cuban people.&#8221;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The Cuban government reiterates its willingness to continue respectful dialogue and
