WARSAW, March 28 (Xinhua) -- Poland has raised its travel warning for Cuba to the highest level, urging its citizens to avoid all travel to the country, Polish media reported on Saturday.
In a statement published on its official website, the Polish Foreign Ministry said the move was prompted by Cuba's deepening energy crisis, which has limited the country's ability to provide assistance in emergency situations. The ministry also cited restrictions to air links with Europe and a growing risk of social unrest.
In mid-February, Polish Foreign Ministry had already raised its travel warning for Cuba to Level 3, recommending against non-essential travel, according to the Polish Press Agency. Around 200 Polish citizens are currently in Cuba.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday threatened that "Cuba is next" following U.S. attacks on Venezuela and Iran.
The U.S. military raided Venezuela and forcibly seized the oil-rich South American country's President Nicolas Maduro on Jan. 3 and launched massive joint attacks with Israel against Iran on Feb. 28.
Cuba has been facing a severe economic and energy crisis due to decades of U.S. sanctions. ■
