New York — The recent escalation of the United States in the Caribbean is the result of the Foreign Minister Marco Rubio The best diplomat in Cuba said that the “personality” agenda against the region, adding that his American counterpart is increasingly paying policies that are not in line with the president Donald Trump The so -called peace authorization.
Foreign Secretary Bruno Rodriguez Barleh told the Associated Press that Cuba saw the possibility of changing the long hostile dynamism between the United States and the Communist Island when Trump returned to his post in January. But he added that Rubio, who was born to Cuban immigrants, made his mission to Washington to build a stronger “maximum pressure” campaign against Havana.
“The current foreign minister in Cuba was not born, and he never went to Cuba, and he did not know anything about Cuba,” Rodriguez said in an interview with Associated Press on Tuesday. “But there is a very personal and corrupt agenda, which seems to sacrifice the national interests of the United States to enhance this extreme approach.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not respond to the request for suspension. Rubio and US officials defended their aggressive stance against Cuba, accusing her that led her dictatorship.
“The United States will continue to defend human rights and the basic freedoms of the Cuba people, and no dictatorial regimes do not clarify in our hemisphere,” Rubio said in a July statement.
The foreign minister and other Cuban officials were hunting diplomatic lines with the Trump administration, as they were looking for an end to the American economic ban for a period of six decades, which, despite his failure to overthrow the government, caused the power outages on a large scale, food lack and inflation.
In statements and public speeches, those responsible for Trump’s criticism moved directly to a series of aggressive measures taken by his administration against Cuba in the first eight months of his second term. This includes the restoration of a series of restricted economic sanctions that have eased during the conditions of Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden. In the days before leaving the office, Biden was He moved to raise the United States’ naming for Cuba As a state sponsor of terrorism.
Trump moved the country to the list the next day to install it. The United States also made Cuba One of seven countries facing increasing restrictions On visitors and Clear temporary legal protection It may protect about 300,000 Cuban from deportation. The administration also announced Visa restrictions Cuban government officials and foreigners participating in the medical missions in Cuba, which Rubio called “forced work”.
Rodriguez, who has held the position of foreign minister since 2009, blames these escalations against Cuba and the latter against Venezuela in the “Pole Dual”, not the White House Trump. He added that Trump “depicts himself as a defender of peace,” but it is Rubio who “enhances the use of power or threat to use power as a tool daily.”
Before being exploited as minister of state and national security adviser, Rubio had already practiced an influence of American policy towards Latin America during the first period of Trump.
Florida former Senate member admitted that his interest in targeting Latin Latin American leaders was personal. His parents, Cuban immigrants, arrived in Miami in 1956, shortly before the 1959 Communist Fidel Castro revolution.
His steadfast criticism helped communism in his victory in his support from thousands of members of the Venezuelan diaspora who made their new home to escape crime, economic deprivation and turmoil under Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro and his predecessor, the late Hugo Chavez, who was assumed by the presidency in 1999 in 1999.
The pressure was for more American interference in Latin America, which has identified a lot of Rubio’s century in politics, was starkly shown when the United States was Send a fleet From American warships to water off Venezuela after she requested successive Killing On alleged drug boats.
Rodriguez said that Cuba acted “full solidarity” with Venezuela and warned that the extraordinary maritime accumulation off South America and the speculation that Trump was You can try to overthrow Maduro “can lead to unexpected and catastrophic consequences.” The Trump administration said it is trying to force Cuba to stop supporting Maduro, which the United States says he is receiving military and intelligent assistance from the Cubans.
When asked if Cuba would support Venezuela militarily if there was an invasion, he would be notified, saying: “We do not know what the future can bring.”
But Rodriguez expressed optimism about the possibility of a less hostile relationship with its northern neighbor and said that officials are still cooperating with Washington in many bilateral agreements, including in combating terrorism and immigration.
He added: “We are completely prepared, as we have always been, today, today, a dangerous and responsible dialogue with the current American administration.”
