Svmuu News: Cuban Foreign Minister Rodríguez stated on the 20th that, as the perpetrator of collective punishment against the Cuban people, the U.S. government has no political, legal, or moral authority to judge the reform measures taken by Cuba. Rodríguez said on social media that these measures, introduced by Cuba, are based on national sovereignty and the right to self-determination, and are intended to address the impact of “extreme economic pressure.” He added that the U.S. view on how Cuba adapts to new domestic and international realities is “irrelevant.” He stated that Cuba will continue to defend its sovereignty while firmly opposing foreign interference.
