Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez asserted this Tuesday that the United States government persists in “attacking” the sovereignty of other states and fomenting “belligerent chaos” that threatens world peace and international stability.
From his account on the social network X, Rodríguez accused Washington of systematically violating human rights and fomenting violence and death both outside and within its territory.
“While it persists in attacking world peace and the sovereignty of other independent states, leading the planet into bellicose chaos and a permanent threat to international stability and security (…) its domestic policies promote hatred, violence, and death among its citizens, gravely violate the human rights of hundreds of thousands of migrants, and disregard the commitments made to its electoral base,” wrote the Cuban Foreign Minister.
The US government faces strong rejection of its chaotic and fascist policies within its own borders. Protests against it are growing in various cities across the country.
Rodríguez’s statements come amid the deep regional tension unleashed after the US aggression against Venezuela on January 3, which left more than a hundred dead and culminated in the kidnapping of the constitutional president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife by US forces, who took them to New York to face charges in federal court for alleged drug trafficking offenses.
Given this scenario, Cuba described Washington’s actions as a flagrant violation of Venezuela’s sovereignty and international law.
In his statement, the head of Cuban diplomacy also confirmed that at least 32 Cuban citizens died during that military operation while serving on missions in Venezuela.
Criticism of Cuba intensified following statements by US President Donald Trump, who asserted that the Caribbean island “looked ready to fall” after the aggression. Trump also announced that he would halt oil and financial aid to Cuba in order to economically strangle the island.
Following this announcement, the Venezuelan government reaffirmed its strong alliance with Havana and highlighted the long tradition of cooperation between the two countries. It also rejected Washington’s threats as part of a policy of pressure that affects not only the region but also the international order.
