U.S. continues subversive programs against Cuba, says foreign minister

Havana, Mar 4^th. – Foreign Affairs Minister Bruno Rodriguez said today that despite cuts in funds from Usaid, his interim administrator, U.S. Secretary of State Marcos Rubio, uses taxpayers' money in subversive plans against Cuba.

As the U.S. government announces 90% reduction of USAID funds of more than $54 billion, its interim administrator, in line with its corrupt personal agenda, chooses to use taxpayer money in subversive programs against Cuba and not in international development, Rodriguez stressed on the X social network.

In recent days, the head of Cuban diplomacy revealed that the United States Agency for International Development (Usaid) invested more than $120 million to subvert the constitutional order in Cuba.

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

According to the Cuban Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carlos Fernández de Cossío, the policy declared by the current U.S. government is aggressive. They themselves have said that the purpose they have is to continue to put economic pressure on Cuba, to continue to create difficulties for the Cuban economy and thus cause greater tightening, greater problems for the well-being of Cubans, for living conditions in the country," warned the vice-chancellor in an interview given to Prensa Latina.

According to the diplomat, it is to be seen exactly what they are going to do, but one should not be surprised that they have the will and ability to continue punishing the Cuban population as a whole on the basis of coercive economic measures. (Text and photo: PL)
