Cuba's foreign minister, Bruno Rodríguez, today warned about the growing influence of warmongering sectors in the administration of US President Donald Trump, whom he called "hawks" willing to violate international law.

Havana, Cuba.- In statements published on social media, Rodríguez pointed out that these officials “speak without hesitation of an international order based on force and military power,” in a position that refers to “the worst years of dispossession through war”.

The top representative of Cuban diplomacy stressed that such a policy not only threatens global peace but also endangers the lives of thousands of low-income young Americans who would be recruited to participate in military operations anywhere in the world.

He also criticized the squandering of billions of dollars in wars, in open contradiction to the electoral promises that brought the current government to power and which, he said, “betray their own voter bases”.

The incumbent reiterated Cuba’s rejection of any attempt to impose the law of the strongest and defended the need to preserve the principles of international law, built after centuries of conflict. (PL)
