Havana, 24 Feb (RHC) The British newspaper The Guardian denounced the threats made by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, against the Cuban medical collaboration, and the tightening of the siege against the humanitarian mission that has helped some of the most impoverished communities in the world.

The publication exposes Washington's unfounded accusations that Havana uses doctors to undermine democracy in the nations involved and of exploiting personnel sent on missions.

The newspaper reports that spearheading these claims is U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who described the deployment of Cuban doctors in countries from Venezuela to Brazil and Ecuador as a sinister interference in their affairs and congratulated countries, such as Bolivia, that have expelled them.

The article contrasts this view with that of John Kirk, an academic at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, who interviewed several hundred Cuban doctors and even lived with some of them for a while.

He expressed skepticism about the allegations to the point of considering them exaggerated.

The newspaper says the U.S. campaign against Cuban doctors has intensified amid recent political changes in Latin America where leftist governments have been replaced by right-wing regimes closely aligned with Trump and Washington.
