In a message posted on his Twitter account, the Foreign Minister considered the decision “the latest example of the US interventionist plan to present #Cuba as a threat to the national security of the United States.”

  “Every US action aimed at creating a scenario of conflict between the two countries is destined to fail. Every threat against Cuba’s independence and sovereignty will be met with greater unity and determination from our people,” he emphasized.   This action comes on top of threats from US President Donald Trump and other measures to intensify the blockade against the island, which have sparked rejection and condemnation from popular sectors, governments, and politicians in several nations around the world.
