Bella Thorne is calling on world politicians, including President Biden, to assist in putting an end to the suffering of citizens in Cuba on the heels of the country’s new 10% tax on food sales.

Cuba announced the tax earlier this month. It targets those who are self-employed and small- and medium-sized companies in the retail sector of the food industry.

It’s a move that’s disheartened the 24-year-old actress and singer, who is half-Cuban. In an interview with Fox News Digital, Thorne expressed her discontent with the economic woes Cubans are facing and called for Biden to lead the charge in helping those who will be affected the most.

“I oppose the new tax on food sales by the anti-democratic Cuban regime because it amplifies the serious suffering of the people of Cuba,” the former Disney actress said.

“It’s a heartless move that deeply saddens me and motivates me to want to do even more me to fight to bring democracy to Cuba. I hold the tyrannical thugs in power accountable for this decision and the wave of brutal suffering it will inflict on the Cuban people who only want to be free like you and I are as Americans.”

‘Dictatorship controls everything’

Thorne called attention to the “brutal corrupt dictatorship” that the Cuban people have been living under for “over 60 years.” She asked Biden to “think about what it would be like as Americans to live six decades where you can’t share your thoughts or decide who represents you politically.”
