Havana: Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez denounced today what he described as aggressiveness and a threat from the United States to the peace and security of the region, Radio Habana Cuba reports.
The Foreign Minister made reference to the statements of the White House Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, at the virtual summit of the General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS).
In his official Twitter account, Rodríguez assured that Pompeo is lying, and that ‘he uses the discredited OAS podium to repeat his Monroist speech.’
The head of Cuban diplomacy reiterated that lying is a custom of Washington’s foreign policy.
According to press reports, the OAS uses its virtual meeting, which began the day before and is scheduled to end today, to analyze the situation in Venezuela and Nicaragua, whose governments were legitimately elected by the majority of their citizens and are opposed to the policies of the northern power.
Cuba has not been a member of the OAS since it was expelled in 1962, in the context of the Cold War, and it never returned to the organization as a structure designed for the dominance of the United States over Latin America.
