Cuba denounces pretexts fabricated by the US to attack Venezuela

Havana, Jan 8 (Prensa Latina) Cuba’s Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodriguez, today denounced that the latest statements by senior US officials confirm that the alleged "Cartel de los Soles" was a "mendacious pretext" fabricated to justify the aggression against Venezuela.

Through his account on the social network X, the Cuban Foreign Minister pointed out that recent statements by the Secretaries of State and War of the United States reveal that such a drug trafficking group never existed, Thus dismantling one of the main narratives used to attack the South American country.

“They confirm what we have always denounced: there was never the Cartel de los Soles, which was a false pretext to justify the aggression against Venezuela, with the aim of seizing Venezuelan resources, controlling that territory neocolonially and overthrowing the Chavista and Bolivarian revolution”, wrote Rodriguez.

The head of Cuban diplomacy further questioned: “Will those who affirmed the existence of this alleged drug trafficking group ask for forgiveness for supporting such a lie? Will they denounce the outrage, usurpation and piracy that the US government intends to impose on the Venezuelan people?”.

In his message, Rodríguez demanded the end of “double standards” in international politics and demanded that international law be respected and defended.
