On Twitter, Bruno Rodríguez posted cheap politicking and opportunism dictate Washington’s foreign policy stances.

“U.S. is not able to show credible evidence that justifies the inclusion of #Cuba on the State Department´s unilateral list of States supposedly sponsor terrorism,” Mr. Rodríguez live-tweeted.

In January, the United States once again included Cuba on its list from which it had been absent since 2015, withdrawn under the former President Barack Obama administration.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel insisted on the negative economic impact for Cuba due to measures applied by the US government including the inclusion on the list of states sponsors of terrorism, which he defined as an attitude that no one can believe.

“We are promoters of health, saving lives, giving hope to those who have less,” Díaz-Canel said in his speech at the 3rd Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba.
