On his X profile, the head of State pointed out that the US Government and the sensationalist media are alarmed by the millions-worth projects undertaken by the Agency for International Development (USAID) for subversion and the financing of so-called independent media and NGOs.

It is very simple to follow the money trail and see who has become new millionaires, he added.

According to Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez, in 1998 and 1999, that organization spent more than six million dollars to carry out hundreds of illegal operations in Cuba, and from 2001 to 2006, it allocated 61 million dollars to 142 projects and activities against the Cuban people.

On Thursday, the head of Cuban diplomacy summarized that since 1990, USAID has allocated an average of 20 to 50 million dollars annually to subvert the constitutional order in Cuba with money from the US taxpayer, not counting the funds that are allocated covertly.

Cuba has repeatedly denounced the use of organizations presented as humanitarian or in defense of democracy – USAID among them – as façades to penetrate and undermine societies, in tune with the hegemonic interests of the United States.

The dishonesty of such groups was highlighted by recent revelations about USAID’s activities, which emerged in the context of President Donald Trump’s crusade to reduce or dismantle parts of the Government of the United States.

According to analysts, the scandalous revelations of “USAID secrets” by Trump, tech mogul Elon Musk and others are intended to attack their Democratic rivals and advance US interests with less subtle and cruder methods, in line with the governing style and personality of the incumbent US president.
