We have learned of the recent inclusion of Cuba on a list of the US government, which aims to include our country as a state sponsor of terrorism. It constitutes a true slander that Cuba is intended to be singled out in this way, when our people, from the beginning of the Revolution and up to the present day, are the victims of these acts.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba condemns, in the strongest and most absolute terms, the fraudulent designation of Cuba as a State that sponsors terrorism which, in a cynical and hypocritical move, has been announced by the government of the United States.
Havana, Dec 11, 2020.- Cuba will start dismantling its current two-teer monetary system as of January 1st, leaving the traditional peso (CUP) as the only official currency of the land at an initial exchange rate of 24 to 1 US dollar.
