Washington says Cuba is a threat to US national security

According to the U.S. Department of Justice indictment, 94-year-old Raúl Castro is being prosecuted on charges of conspiracy to murder U.S. citizens, four counts of murder, and involvement in the downing of two airplanes.


Rubio emphasized during a Thursday conversation with reporters that diplomacy remains a priority in Washington's policy toward Cuba; however, given the nature of the current Havana regime, he deemed reaching an agreement unlikely.


He also described Cuba as one of the main sponsors of terrorism in the region. In response, Bruno Rodríguez, Cuba's Foreign Minister, rejected these accusations on the social network X, accusing Marco Rubio of "spreading lies." He stressed that Cuba has never been a threat to the United States and accused Washington of inciting military action against his country.


Meanwhile, Cuba continues to face a fuel crisis stemming from U.S. oil sanctions—a crisis that has led to widespread blackouts and food shortages in the country.


On the other hand, Rubio announced that Cuba has accepted a $100 million U.S. humanitarian aid offer. He also reported the arrest in Florida of Addis Lastras Murra, the sister of a senior official at a Cuban military company, accusing her of collaborating with the Havana regime.


Donald Trump, the U.S. President, has likewise described Cuba as a failed state and stated that his administration is working to provide humanitarian assistance to its people. He added that his goal is to resolve the Cuban crisis after years of failure by previous governments and had previously said that, after Venezuela, Cuba is a priority in U.S. policies.


In response, Miguel Díaz-Canel, Cuba's President, has warned that any U.S. military action against the country could lead to a widespread and bloody conflict.

Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, has stated that Cuba is considered a threat to U.S. national security from Washington's perspective and that the likelihood of reaching a diplomatic agreement with the Havana government is very low. These remarks come as the United States has recently indicted Raúl Castro, Cuba's former president.
