Cuban FM criticizes lies, fallacies of his American counterpart to justify blockade on his country
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez criticized the lies of US Secretary of State Mark Rubio, through which he tries to justify aggression against Cuba and the US blockade of a military nature.
Rodriguez said, in a blog post on the “X” platform, monitored by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba): “When the US Secretary of State talks about incompetence in Cuba, he should be asked why he chronically lies and contradicts his president and his official spokeswoman, denying the existence of the complete fuel blockade that the White House itself acknowledges.”
He added: “If it is a matter of incompetence, why do they impose the oil blockade and secondary sanctions? Every time he talks about the situation in our country, he tries to evade any responsibility and present himself as a savior.”
The Cuban minister called on the world to be aware of these fallacies, saying: “But be careful: it is a comprehensive blockade, very similar to a blockade of a military nature, and at the same time, it openly calls for the undermining of the Cuban constitutional system, and persistently seeks to push America towards military intervention in Cuba.”
He explained that “Washington’s economic strangulation plan against Cuba includes preventing foreign companies from selling spare parts or technologies needed for Cuban thermal power plants.”
He continued: “It also prevents any company in the world from selling oil to our country, and imposes sanctions on the Cuban company CUPET, which is the company that possesses the infrastructure and capabilities necessary for fuel-related logistics services in Cuba.”
Rodriguez stated, “This plan, in its precise details, aims to develop our economy and all its financing sources. It imposes sanctions on nickel companies and threatens foreign companies operating in the tourism and mining sectors.”
He continued: “This plan also deprives foreign citizens who visit Cuba of the right to benefit from an ESTA visa to enter America, and practices blackmail and threats against countries that maintain, sovereignly, health cooperation agreements with Cuba.”
