Marco Rubio exposes Cuba for rejecting a million-dollar humanitarian aid and on the island they deny it
Marco Rubio claims that Cuba rejected $100 million dollars in humanitarian aid offered by the US, but from the island they call him cynical for lying
Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, affirms that Cuba rejected an offer of $100 million dollars in humanitarian aid posed by the United States, which the island's authorities outrightly rule out.
“We have offered the regime $100 million dollars in humanitarian aid, which, unfortunately, they have not agreed to distribute among the Cuban people. "We will help the people of Cuba, who are being harmed by this incompetent regime that has destroyed the country and the economy," the republican from Italy said before several news media.
In response, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Minister of Foreign Relations of Cuba, issued a statement through the X platform, previously It is known as Twitter, where it accuses the Florida politician of lying with the objective of destabilizing the nation where his ancestors were born.
“Aware of the need to lie to justify his criminal attack against the Cuban people, the US Secretary of State invents the fable of u an alleged aid offer valued at $100 million dollars or more, seeking to deceive the people of Cuba and the American people themselves,” he wrote.
Immediately after, the Caribbean official held Rubio responsible for strengthening the economic blockade imposed by the United States on the island in such a way that its inhabitants suffer more from the shortage of products and fuel.
“What the anti-Cuban politician knows very well, as many people know, because it is public information, are the figures in thousands of millions of dollars that costs Cuba the economic war of the United States. It takes great cynicism to pronounce, without any shame, a declaration of supposed aid in such a mendacious way,” he emphasized.
After Donald Trump managed to overthrow Nicolás Maduro from the presidency of Venezuela, millions of barrels of oil coming from the Bolivarian Republic of They stopped being supplied to Cuba and that aggravated their problems by lacking the gasoline and diesel necessary for the vehicles to displace the little food they produce.
This lack of fuel also affects the generation of electricity in Cuban territory and even the hospitals where they provide medical care to the population.
However, Miguel Diaz-Canel, president of Cuba, declared a few days ago that he does not intend to give in to the pressure of an adversary obsessed for decades with taking over the island.
