Rubio says Cuba is threat to US as Havana accuses him of 'lies'
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated Cuba poses a national security threat and is a leading regional sponsor of terrorism, noting a low likelihood of a peaceful diplomatic solution, one day after the US charged former Cuban President Raúl Castro with murder related to the 1996 downing of two planes carrying US nationals. Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez dismissed Rubio's comments as lies, accusing him of attempting to instigate military aggression, while the Trump administration also announced the arrest of Adys Lastres Morera—sister of a top official in a Cuban military-run conglomerate—in Florida for aiding the communist regime.
