"Trump’s representatives once again lie, defame and spread false information. This is slander," tweeted President of the Republic Miguel Díaz-Canel, on his official account, describing as totally false accusations of alleged interference in U.S. elections by Cuba.
These lies, born of hatred and opportunism, are part of the dirty war against our country. With no real arguments or constructive ideas, the U.S. government resorts to slandering Cuba to justify its rejection of any positive contact between the two nations.
Last November, when a group of lawyers close to Trump spoke for the first time of possible Cuban interference in the elections, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla denounced the allegations, calling them "pure slander," adding that, in contrast to U.S. policy, our country does not interfere in the electoral process of other nations.
Recently, Carlos Fernández de Cossío, general director for the United States at the Cuban Foreign Ministry, noted that the U.S. government itself confirmed that these assertions were false, while José Ramón Cabañas, head of the Center for International Policy Research, posted on Twitter the text of a U.S. National Security assessment on the subject, which describes as “low-level” possible Cuban promotion of an anti-Republican, pro-Democratic Party narrative.
