“It is absurd for the State Department to claim that Cuba, a developing country, relatively small and subjected to a brutal economic war, could pose a threat to the world’s greatest military, technological, and economic power.”
This was stated Wednesday via social media by Political Bureau member and Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, who added that: “Cuba is a peaceful country that does not attack others, does not allow its territory to be used against others, and has a clean record against terrorism, international organized crime, and violence,” as the U.S. government has tried to demonstrate—unsuccessfully and without argument.
The head of Cuban diplomacy insisted that this information is known to both the U.S. government and its security and defense agencies. “You can’t create pretexts with such weak and fallacious arguments,” he asserted.
