CUBA condemned US threats and meddling on Saturday, insisting that remarks by a high-ranking US government official showed that Washington was behind the island’s so-called democracy movement.
“A senior US government official, in an open act of interference, once again makes the mistake of threatening Cuba,” said Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez.
“In addition to [the remarks] constituting an act contrary to the Charter of the United Nations, history has shown that Cubans do not accept, nor do we allow ourselves to be impressed by, threats.”
