Cuban Official Dismisses Rubio National Security Threat Claim: ‘He Lies’
Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla called Marco Rubio a liar and said Cuba does not pose a direct national security threat to the United States.
- On Tuesday, Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla challenged Secretary of State Marco Rubio's claims during a Fox News interview, calling him a liar and accusing him of deceiving the U.S. Congress and international community.
- Months of escalating rhetoric from President Donald Trump's administration preceded the Department of Justice's indictment earlier this month charging former Cuban President Raúl Castro and five other regime members with rare bipartisan support in Florida.
- Rubio told Fox News the Cuban regime poses a direct national security threat, citing an arsenal of military drones supplied by Russia and China; Axios reported Cuba acquired more than 300 drones and discussed plans to attack Guantanamo Bay and Key West.
- Cuba declared readiness to defend against any U.S. attacks while Fox News sought comment from the State Department following Rodríguez's accusations against Rubio.
- Rodríguez questioned why the U.S. government waited 30 years to bring charges and identified Rubio as a principal architect of the blockade and military threat, warning that political system differences should not justify war or humanitarian catastrophe.
