US EditionCuban foreign minister says Rubio’s ‘personal’ agenda in Latin America risks Trump’s peace prospects
Cuban Foreign Minister criticizes Marco Rubio’s hardline policies that complicate U.S.-Cuba relations and peace efforts, citing Rubio’s personal agenda undermining broader diplomatic progress.
- On Tuesday, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla told The Associated Press that Cuba saw an opening to improve ties when Trump returned to office in January but Rubio blocked it with a `very personal and corrupt agenda` risking Trump's peace mandate.
- Born to Cuban immigrants and raised in Miami, Florida, Rubio has admitted his campaign against leftist leaders is personal and gained support from Venezuelan diaspora communities for a `maximum pressure` campaign.
- The U.S. reimposed sanctions and restrictions under the Trump administration, restoring economic sanctions eased under former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden and revoking protections for about 300,000 Cubans.
- Cuban officials say the embargo has produced energy blackouts, food shortages and inflation, and Rodríguez warned U.S. warships and talk of toppling Nicolás Maduro `could bring about unforeseeable and catastrophic consequences`, while The New York Times reported Monday on escalated military pressure.
- Rubio and allied officials defend the hardline approach, with Stephen Miller and John Ratcliffe backing them, while Biden moved to lift Cuba's terrorism designation, showing competing policy currents.
