Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez has attacked what he described as "anti-Cuban politicians" in the United States this Thursday for promoting a $75 million budget intended to finance "subversion" on the island.

The criticism comes amid a new wave of bilateral tension, after the Cuban Parliament rejected a Trump administration memorandum that strengthens the economic blockade and bans US tourism to Cuba.

Through the social media platform X, Rodríguez denounced that, while the U.S. Congress approves cuts to domestic public services, certain sectors are promoting the injection of millions into programs aimed at "subverting the Cuban constitutional order."

"They are renewing the corrupt business of those who enrich themselves at the expense of the American taxpayer and the harm to our people," wrote the minister, who has repeatedly accused Washington of financing media campaigns and dissident groups to promote a "change of government."

The Cuban Foreign Minister has previously identified US Secretary of State Marco Rubio as the person most responsible for the use of public funds in "subversive plans" against the island. These statements coincide with the recent approval in the US Senate of a $9 million federal spending cut package, promoted by President Donald Trump, which has yet to be ratified by the House of Representatives.

The Memorandum and the "Genocidal Economic War"

A day before Rodríguez's remarks, Cuba's National Assembly of People's Power issued a statement condemning the June 30 presidential memorandum, which bans U.S. tourism to the island and expands trade restrictions.

The parliamentary document called the measure part of a "genocidal economic war" and reiterated that the blockade, intensified since Trump's return to power in 2021, seeks to "suffocate Cuba and cause a social collapse." According to the deputies, the current shortages of food, medicine, and fuel are a direct consequence of these sanctions.

Furthermore, the Cuban legislature rejected the island's inclusion on the list of state sponsors of terrorism, a designation that, according to Havana, hinders financial transactions and deepens the economic crisis. "The United States uses methods of pressure to achieve what it could not with the Bay of Pigs invasion: to dominate Cuba," the statement concluded.
