Washington portrays Havana as a national security risk tied to Beijing and Moscow while insisting diplomacy remains possible
The comments came amid renewed friction between Washington and Beijing over Cuba after China criticised the US charges against Castro and accused Washington of escalating pressure on Havana.
“China firmly supports Cuba in safeguarding its national sovereignty and national dignity and opposes external interference.”
“Cuba not only has weapons that they’ve acquired from Russia and China over the years, but they also host Russian and Chinese intelligence presence in their country, not far from where we’re standing right now,” Rubio said during remarks in Homestead, south of Miami.
