Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Thursday appealed to US President Joe Biden to end sanctions against Cuba, warning the measures risked fomenting unrest.

Lopez Obrador made the plea alongside his Cuban counterpart Miguel Diaz-Canel, who was a rare guest of honor at an Independence Day military parade in Mexico City.

“Hopefully President Biden, who has sufficient political sensitivity… puts an end forever to the political grievances towards Cuba,” Lopez Obrador said.

The leftist leader called “respectfully” for Washington to lift the embargo against Cuba, arguing that “no state has the right to subdue another people, another country.”

The focus on those issues need to come first
