Cuba Denounces Trump Remarks on Government's Fall as "Slander"
Havana called the U.S. president's claims that the Cuban government would "fall" a lie.
The Cuban government called the declarations by U.S. President Donald Trump "slander" and a "lie" on Tuesday, September 22, according to a France 24 report.
Before the UN General Assembly, Donald Trump had stated that the island nation's government would "fall," without specifying how or providing further details on this prediction.
Havana firmly rejected these remarks, though it did not indicate whether it planned any additional official diplomatic response beyond this public denunciation.
Relations between Cuba and the United States remain marked by decades of tension, including a long-standing U.S. economic embargo that Havana regularly condemns as a violation of its sovereignty.
The report does not clarify the broader context in which Donald Trump's remarks were made during his UN address.
