Cuba slams US over shooting at embassy
    2020-05-14  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

CUBA’S foreign minister Tuesday lashed out at the Trump administration for “complacent silence” following a shooting at the Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C., and for trying to thwart Cuban efforts to battle the coronavirus.

“In the midst of the pandemic, the Secretary of State Mr. Mike Pompeo is constantly advocating against Cuban medical cooperation and slandered Cuban medical doctors instead of saying one word about the terrorist attack that happened a few blocks not only from the White House but from the State Department,” Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla told CNN in an interview Tuesday.

Rodriguez Parrilla said the U.S. Government has shown little cooperation following the incident in April when a man opened fire on the Embassy, riddling the front of the building with gunfire.

He said the State Department has been slow to share information and that senior administration officials failed to condemn the attack.

“The attacker confessed that he aimed to kill. It’s a very serious issue,” Rodriguez Parrilla told CNN.

“Can you imagine that which would be the U.S. reaction in a similar case of a similar attack against an American embassy anywhere in the world?”

The Trump administration has tightened economic sanctions on Cuba and asked countries not to accept Cuban medical assistance to fight the coronavirus outbreak.

“The Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service works closely with law enforcement agencies to protect and maintain the security and safety of foreign missions in the United States,” said a statement issued by the U.S. Embassy in Havana on Tuesday.
