Havana, July 24 (Prensa Latina) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez today described the U.S. State Department’s messages on digital networks as lies and disrespectful and irresponsible publications.
Rodríguez emphasized that the social media messages “demonstrate the frustration of anti-Cuban sectors in their inhumane aggression against the Cuban people.”
The head of Cuban diplomacy pointed out in X that these sectors, deprived of support from the vast majority of Americans, Cubans and the international community, are desperately seeking taxpayer funds to construct provocations and impose a course of unjustifiable bilateral confrontation.
In recent days, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel denounced the United States government’s attempts to subdue Cuba with economic suffocation measures that are harming the population.
Since Donald Trump’s first term (2017-2021), the current Republican administration has sought to close all avenues for access to essential financing for the economy’s normal functioning, Díaz-Canel asserted before the National Assembly of People’s Power.
The Donald Trump administration publicly declared, in a presidential memorandum on National Security, its intention to intensify “the brutal siege combined with the unacceptable inclusion of Cuba on the list of alleged sponsors of terrorism.”
This hostility, the head of state emphasized, “reinforces the blockade policy to unprecedented levels and causes a multiplied impact of coercive measures on the economy and, by extension, on the Cuban population’s standard of living.”
