Cuban FM expresses condolences over tornado in United States

Havana, Mar 26 (Prensa Latina) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez on Sunday expressed his condolences due to the devastation caused by a tornado in Mississippi, the United States.

On his Twitter account, Rodriguez expressed his regret for all 26 deaths, so far, due to this natural phenomenon, with a preliminary EF-4 rating, the second highest score in the tornado severity index of the National Meteorological Service.

US President Joe Biden declared the state of emergency, so federal funds will be available available to the territory for grants for temporary housing and property repairs.
