Havana/The Cuban Foreign Ministry on Friday as “provocative act” the Washington’s decision to reinstate and expand the restricted list of Cuba, which veto transactions with companies linked to the regime. The head of Cuban diplomacy, Bruno Rodríguez, said that Donald Trump’s government promotes “irresponsible confrontation scenarios” with Havana.
On the decisions announced by the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, Rodríguez said that they are “deceitful pretexts with which he intends to justify the unjustifiable”, referring to the resurgence of sanctions on the regime.
Rubio approved this Friday the reinstatement of the “blacklist” that veto commercial exchanges with companies under the control of the armed forces, state security or other military or counterintelligence bodies. For Rodríguez, the announcement is a “free abuse” and a “criminal measure”, which “will cause greater shortcomings, separation and increase in emigration.”
Rubio explained that he broadcasts that list “to deny resources to the same branches of the regime that oppress and monitor directly to the Cuban people”
For his part, Rubio explained in his statement that he re -issues that list “to deny resources to the same branches of the Cuban regime that oppress and monitor directly to the Cuban people while controlling large sectors of the country’s economy.”
He stressed that in addition to putting the companies that were on that list until the last week of the administration of the Democrat Joe Biden (2021-2025) again, “a remittance processing company that operates for or on behalf of the Cuban military. ”
“The State Department promotes the accountability of the Cuban regime to oppress its people and rejects the evil interference of Cuba in the Americas and worldwide,” he said. He also recalled that on January 20, in the early hours of the second term of Donald Trump, the latter revoked his predecessor’s decision to get Cuba out of the American list of terrorism promoting states.
Miguel Díaz-Canel also reacted to Washington’s ads about his policy towards the regime
Miguel Díaz-Canel also reacted to Washington’s ads about his policy towards the regime. This Friday, he defined as an “infamy” Trump’s decision to use the American naval base in Guantanamo to stop 30,000 undocumented immigrants. He attributed to the Republicans “fascist ideas”, which are the “fruit of capitalism.”
Trump said he would send thousands of undocumented to Guantanamo, an act-in the words of Díaz-Canel-of absolute “brutality”, since for Havana the territory of the base is “illegally occupied” by the US army.
In his claims to the Cuban regime, Rubio put on the table the issue of dozens of terrorists to whom Havana has provided refuge. It was the case of the American of Puerto Rican origin William Morales, who put a bomb in the New York Fraunces tavern and was asylum by Fidel Castro in 1988. In an act of tribute to the victims, Rubio claimed the Cuban government to return to Morales – who still lives in the Cuban capital – to undergo trial in the US.
