Medicare Fraud Allegations are New Slanders Against Cuba
Recent statements made by some US Government officials speculate, without any evidence whatsoever, about the fact that the Government of Cuba could be involved in frauds targeting the US health care program Medicare in South Florida. This is a new slander fabricated by anti-Cuban sectors in that country. Cuba has maintained a firm stance in rejection of this and other transnational crimes. This is something well-known by the Government of the United States, which has exchanged and coordinated with the Cuban Government the implementation of several joint actions on terrorism, legal assistance, commercial security, illicit trafficking in drugs, alien smuggling and migration fraud, cyber-crimes, money laundering and financial crimes. However, as a rule, there has not been a reciprocal behavior on the part of the US authorities.

Statement of the President: Cuba is guided by one certainty: any external aggressor will face unyielding resistance
The U.S publicly threatens Cuba, almost daily, with overthrowing the constitutional order by force. And it uses an outrageous pretext: the severe constraints of the weakened economy that they have attacked and sought to isolate for more than six decades. They intend to and announce plans to take over the country, its resources, its properties, and even the very economy they seek to suffocate in order to force us to surrender. This is the only way to explain the fierce economic war being waged as collective punishment against the entire people. Faced with the worst-case scenario, Cuba is guided by one certainty: any external aggressor will face unyielding resistance.
