US continues subversive programs against Cuba, FM asserts

Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said today that despite cuts in USAID funds, its interim administrator, US Secretary of State Marcos Rubio, uses taxpayers' money in subversive plans against Cuba.    

“While the US government announces a 90% cut in #USAID funds for more than 54 billion usd, its interim administrator, in line with his corrupt personal agenda, chooses to use taxpayers’ money in subversive programs against Cuba and not in international development,” Rodriguez stressed on the X social network.

In recent days, the top Cuban diplomat revealed that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) invested more than 120 million dollars to subvert the constitutional order in Cuba.

In this regard, the foreign minister described as unusual that an official development agency should use money to support a change of government and enrich those who see a business in the suffering of the Cuban people.

The Cuban Foreign Affairs Deputy Minister, Carlos Fernandez de Cossio, stated that the current US government’s declared policy is aggressive.

They themselves have said that their purpose is to continue putting economic pressure on Cuba, to continue creating difficulties for the Cuban economy and thus cause greater hardships, greater problems for the well-being of the Cubans, for the living conditions in the country’, warned the deputy foreign minister in an interview granted to Prensa Latina.

According to the diplomat, ‘it remains to be seen exactly what they are going to do, but one should not be surprised that they have the will and the capacity to continue punishing the Cuban population as a whole on the basis of coercive economic measures’.
