The New York Times article claiming that Washington seeks to remove Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel from power is a fake story, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, APA reports.
"The reason so many in US media keep putting out fake stories like this one is because they continue to rely on charlatans and liars claiming to be in the know as their sources," he wrote on X.
The article claimed Washington officials had told Cuba that for meaningful progress to be made in negotiations, President Diaz-Canel must step down. According to the paper, the US authorities believe that removing Cuba’s head of state would allow structural economic changes in the country so that it would gradually open its economy to American businesses.
US President Donald Trump said on March 17 that the US would "be doing something with Cuba soon." However, he did not elaborate further.
