Cuba denied any allegation in the ‘sonic attacks’ on American diplomats
Cuba denied any allegations, stressing it would never allow “its territory to be used by third parties with that purpose”. Thus, the decision of the USA to reduce Cuba’s diplomatic staff in Washington without the conclusive results from the investigation and without evidence of the incidents . . . ‘has an eminently political character.’
A state department official said the move to expel roughly 60 percent of the Cuban diplomats in the US capital was “not a change of policy”. Moreover, the US warned the American tourists about the potential danger while the touring on Cuba.
Rex Tillerson, the Secretary of State, twitted,
