Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez has denied on social media the offer of monetary humanitarian aid to the island from the United States.
“Someone should ask the U.S. Secretary of State about the fabrication of the supposed offer of $100 million in humanitarian aid to Cuba, which no one here knows about,” he wrote.
“It would be good to know who specifically would provide the money, whether it would be delivered in cash for basic needs, such as fuel, food, and medicine, or if it would be a delivery of goods, and from which company or agency the products would be purchased.”
Bruno Rodriguez also asked those claiming the aid to specify the date of the official delivery to Cuban authorities, or of the distribution among the population.
The Cuban foreign minister questioned whether this false offer of aid was a donation or a dirty deal to undermine our independence, and whether it wouldn’t be easier to lift the fuel blockade imposed on the nation since January of this year.
“They’re lying: a $100 million lie,” he concluded.
