The article released by the DPRK Foreign Ministry´s official website claimed that the United States, which DPRK considers as manipulator and instigator of Jul. 11 insurrection in Cuba, implemented new sanctions against Cuba.
In a statement on July 22, the US Treasury Department published that it would apply new sanctions against Cuba´s Minister of the Revolutionary Armed Forces and the Special Force Unit of the Ministry of Interior, and on the same day a statement was issued on such decisions.
Such a step is a serious interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state and reveals the real US purpose of touching off internal riots by encouraging counterrevolutionaries and further increasing the anti-Cuban setting globally.
Cuba´s Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez roundly condemned the US measure, describing it as a flagrant violation of international law and a serious interference in internal affairs.
