Cuba Rejects US Report: 'Trying to Justify an Attack'

The diplomatic tension between Cuba and the US has reached a new level. The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly rejected the report published by the US Department of State. Cuba claims that Washington aims to intensify the blockade, influence international public opinion, and justify a possible military intervention. In the statement of the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was stated that the allegations in the US report are not based on any concrete evidence. The statement noted that the US administration is trying to portray Cuba as a threat to US national security, and that this narrative is used to further tighten the economic blockade, continue the 'policy of collective punishment' against the Cuban people, and prepare international public opinion for a possible military attack. The Cuban government accused the US of 'hypocrisy'. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Washington allocates millions of dollars from its federal budget every year to programs aimed at creating political instability in Cuba, deepening economic and social crises, and changing the current government.
