According to the Cuban lawmaker Machado on Twitter, “Cuba does not sponsor or encourage terrorism. We nurture peace, solidarity, and collaboration among peoples.”
The statement was made after the favorable response given on Wednesday by Josep Borrell Fontelles, High Representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President of the European Commission, to mediate with the U.S. government to remove Cuba from the unilateral list of countries that sponsor terrorism.
Including Cuba in the spurious nomenclature is a political instrument to exert pressure and demonize and justify various hostile measures against Cuba taken up by the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, just before the end of his term in office.
