Havana, May 13 (Prensa Latina) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez today denounced the United States’ double standards in once again including the island on the list of countries that do not cooperate against terrorism, a designation he described as “fraudulent.”
Through the social network X, Rodríguez pointed out that the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio — “known for lying to justify his measures against the Cuban people” — ordered the re-inclusion of Cuba on the list of countries that do not cooperate with the United States’ anti-terrorist efforts.
The minister recalled that “in 2024, intelligence agencies in that country presented evidence to the contrary.”
Rodríguez also questioned the U.S. government’s failure to take action against those who organize, finance, and carry out terrorist attacks against Cuba with impunity from the United States.
The foreign minister reiterated that the Washington government’s double standards are “widely recognized” and described it as “the country of unilateral, arbitrary, and fraudulent lists.”
He also suggested that Washington could create “a list of lying and corrupt politicians paid by special interests.”
With Tuesday’s decision, the new U.S. administration of Donald Trump reverses the measure adopted by his predecessor, Joe Biden, who removed the island from the list on May 15, arguing that the circumstances for Cuba’s certification as a “totally non-cooperative country” had changed.
