US mocks victims of terrorism against Cuba, foreign minister states

Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez on Friday rejected the position of the Government of the United States that persists in keeping Cuba on Washington's State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list.    

On his X profile, the head of Cuban diplomacy affirmed that US authorities know “as much as anyone, that Cuba does not sponsor terrorism. With full awareness, it lies about it to justify the adoption of harsh coercive economic measures of extraterritorial scope.”

Rodríguez considered this inclusion as “a dishonest act and a mockery of the victims of the scourge,” he wrote.

The Cuban diplomat pointed out, on the same network, that his nation has an exemplary record in the fight against terrorism and, in contrast, he questioned that the White House “cannot say the same of its own conduct.”

He asserted that there are voices opposed to the economic, financial and commercial blockade in the Congress of the United States, although the true nature of the anti-Cuba mafia is evident in that forum.

Rodriguez alluded to the recently-held hearing in the US Congress, in which Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar, a contumacious enemy of the Cuban people, demanded that Secretary of State Anthony Blinken maintain that policy unchanged.

Cuba’s inclusion in the unjust and unilateral State Sponsors of Terrorism (SSOT) list arouses the nearly total rejection of the international community, which has been ignored by the White House.
