We Refuse to Be a US 'Neocolony': Cuba's Deputy FM Fires Back

"They want us to surrender by hunger." Cuba's Deputy Foreign Minister, Carlos Fernández de Cossío, sits down with BreakThrough News to expose the reality of escalating U.S. aggression and the decades-long economic war on the island. He cuts to the core of the conflict, explaining that Washington refuses to accept that "Cuba is and has a right to be a sovereign country” and details how the U.S. is waging "brutal aggression"—from an effective energy boycott to financial strangulation — to force collapse, deliberately "using the Cuban population as hostages" in order to drag the country back to its past as a U.S. neocolony.
