Havana, May 14 (RHC)-- Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez denounced Washington's 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 media platform X, Bruno Rodríguez noted that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio -- known for lying to justify his measures against the Cuban people -- ordered Cuba's re-inclusion on the list of countries that supposedly do not cooperate with U.S. anti-terrorism efforts.

The Cuban minister recalled that "in 2024, intelligence agencies in that country presented evidence to the contrary."

Bruno Rodríguez also questioned the U.S. government's failure to take action against those who organize, finance, and carry out terrorist actions against Cuba from the United States with impunity.

The foreign minister reiterated that the U.S. 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, 2024 arguing that the circumstances for Cuba's certification as a "totally non-cooperative country" had changed.
