Cuban Pres. asserts US fails against Venezuela, attacks Cuba

'New US sanctions against Cuba. Lies, slander and hypocrisy used as pretext by the US Government to harden the blockade. Due to its failure in Venezuela it lashes out Cuba. We will resist and overcome,' Díaz-Canel wrote in his Twitter account.
