U.S. officials discuss $100 million humanitarian aid for Cuba
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Mike Hammer, the head of the U.S. diplomatic mission in Havana, to discuss the ongoing crisis in Cuba. A central component of their discussion involved the implementation of a $100 million humanitarian aid package intended for the Cuban people. To ensure the funds bypass the Cuban government and military-run conglomerates like GAESA, Washington plans to distribute the aid through independent and reliable organizations, including Caritas.
In response to these developments, Cuban Vice Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío has accused the United States of conducting a media campaign to justify potential military aggression against the island. He alleged that the U.S. is funding articles and opinion pieces to falsely portray Cuba as a security threat, particularly amidst military movements in Puerto Rico. The Cuban official characterized these efforts as a propaganda escalation designed to normalize the idea of an intervention.
