Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez denounced on Tuesday that the U.S. Secretary of State has repeated a series of lies in an attempt to justify collective punishment against the island’s people.
“He is the exponent of an aggressive, repudiated and isolated policy that relies solely on force and intimidation, not on truth or reason,” the Cuban foreign minister warned on his X account.
Bruno Rodríguez further noted that this policy of strangulation driven by Washington has been rejected in recent days by dozens of heads of delegation during the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reiterated in an interview with Fox News that Cuba constitutes a “failed state” and warned that President Donald Trump’s administration would not tolerate the island becoming “an operational platform against U.S. national security.”
Official sources agreed that these statements are part of a worn-out rhetoric against Havana, aimed at justifying the intensification of the blockade and economic sanctions against the Cuban people.
Cuban authorities have denounced Rubio’s systematic attempts to blame the island’s government for the ruthless harm caused by the very economic sanctions and blockade imposed by the United States on the people of the largest island of the Antilles.
