Cuba on Thursday blasted the United States for taking too long to accept evidence that the ailment 'Havana Syndrome' was not likely caused by a foreign enemy, saying Washington ignored the science as a pretext for cutting off relations with the Communist-run island.
The U.S. State Department did not immediately reply to a request for comment on de Cossio´s statements.
He pointed a U.S. decision to keep Cuba on its blacklist of state sponsors of terrorism, calling it unfounded as well. The Trump administration in 2021 said the island's government harbored American fugitives and Colombian rebel leaders and gave security support for socialist Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
Shortly after, the United States closed its embassy in Havana, complicating visa services for Cubans seeking to travel to the United States and contributing, according to Cuba, to a mass exodus of Cubans to the U.S. via irregular and dangerous routes.
