Havana, Jan 8 (Prensa Latina) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez denounced today that the latest statements by high-ranking US officials confirm that the alleged “Cartel of the Suns” was a “mendacious pretext” fabricated to justify the aggression against Venezuela.
Through his account on the social network X, the Cuban foreign minister pointed out that the recent statements by the US Secretaries of State and War reveal that such a drug trafficking group never existed, thus dismantling one of the main narratives used to attack the South American country.
“They confirm what we have always denounced: the Cartel of the Suns never existed, it was a mendacious pretext to justify the aggression against Venezuela, with the objective of seizing Venezuelan resources, neocolonially controlling that territory and overthrowing the Bolivarian and Chavista Revolution,” Rodríguez wrote.
The Cuban foreign minister also questioned: “Will those who claimed the existence of this alleged drug trafficking group apologize for supporting such a lie? Will they denounce the outrage, the usurpation, and the piracy that the U.S. government intends to impose on the Venezuelan people?”
In his message, Rodríguez demanded an end to the “double standard” in international politics and called for respect and defense of International Law.
