The Republican congressman Carlos A. Giménez responded to the Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez, who stated that the U.S. Secretary of State, the Cuban-American Marco Rubio, "will be left wanting" to visit Havana, and emphasized that he has not been invited either.
"The U.S. Secretary of State wants to visit Havana, but first he wants to change our government. He will be left wanting. He will not get to know Cuba, a country about which he knows absolutely nothing. He was not invited," Rodríguez wrote on X.
In response, Giménez put the Castro official in his place and reminded him of all that the dictatorship has done to maintain power.
"They have repressed and trampled an entire people in order to cling to power. No one believes their countless lies and terrible propaganda anymore. Their time is running out," he asserted.
In his tweet, the Foreign Minister emphasized that his government has the support of the people to continue defending the revolution, independence, and national sovereignty.
"We have had 13 U.S. presidents and have lost count of the Secretaries of State," he concluded in a defiant tone.
The origin of Bruno Rodríguez's publication lies in the response given by Marco Rubio to a journalist from Fox News who interviewed him this Tuesday in El Salvador.
In response to the question of whether he saw himself, as a representative of the U.S. Government, ever going to Havana, Rubio replied:
"Well, first of all, we have no intention of going to Havana with this regime in power, except to discuss when they will leave. That regime is a disaster. It has destroyed the country. It is a regime hostile to the United States. So, until that changes, I have nothing to discuss with them," he clarified.
