Cuba’s foreign minister, Bernardo Rodríguez Parrilla:

The claim that an island of this size could be considered a threat to the largest nuclear power does not seem credible in any way.

Cuba is not a threat to the national security of the United States or the U.S. economy, and it cannot be. This country is not an enemy, nor does it have any intention to be hostile.

The U.S. government urgently needs to try to justify the terrible policies it applies against our people.
