The Cuban regime's Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodríguez, has launched an attack on U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, accusing him of pushing a "personal and corrupt" agenda that undermines President Donald Trump's supposed peace mandate. Rodríguez blames Rubio for the recent escalations between Washington and the Caribbean. In a Tuesday interview with The Associated Press, Rodríguez claimed Rubio promotes "extremist" policies that diverge from the public stance of the U.S. president. Meanwhile, Rodríguez persists in accusing Marco Rubio of being the main advocate for the mass deportations of Cubans from the United States. According to Rodríguez, Rubio orchestrates a persecution against Cuban migrants, despite many having entered legally and awaiting eligibility under the Cuban Adjustment Act.
