U.S. President Donald Trump speculated about alleged contact with Cuban authorities, without confirmation from Havana, shortly after the island’s government issued a strong response to his threats of possible aggression.
“One of the groups I want to address is the people who had to leave Cuba,” the US president commented, amid his administration’s implementation of a mass deportation of migrants, including Cuban citizens.
The White House chief commented that the alleged contacts began after U.S. forces invaded Venezuela on January 3, when they kidnapped the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro Moros, and his wife, First Lady Cilia Flores.
The U.S. has no moral authority to speak about Cuba
Commenting on Trump’s claims that there were all kinds of pressures on the island, leaving no option but to invade and destroy it, the president of the Caribbean nation, Miguel Díaz-Canel, affirmed that Cuba is a free, independent, and sovereign nation.
Furthermore, the Cuban leader emphasized that the United States had no moral authority to point the finger at his country.
“They have no moral authority to point the finger at Cuba about anything, absolutely anything, those who turn everything into a business, even human lives,” the Cuban head of state stressed on his Twitter account, referring to the controversial Cuban Adjustment Act.
“They know, and they acknowledge, that they are the product of the draconian measures of extreme suffocation that the United States has been applying to us for six decades and threatens to surpass now,” Díaz Canel pointed out.
