US Expels 15 Cuban Diplomats

Українські Новини

The US President Trump expelled 15 Cuban diplomats, escalating his response to a mysterious affliction that has stricken American Embassy personnel in Havana in a move that cast a Cold War chill over relations between the two countries, the New York Times reports.

The Cuban government condemned what it called a “hasty, inappropriate and unthinking” decision motivated by politics, and warned that the diplomatic dispute would sour relations already imperiled by Trump’s move to crack down on travel and commerce with Cuba.

The State Department said the expulsion of the diplomats was intended to force Cuba to place its embassy in Washington, where the diplomats were stationed, on the same emergency status that the United States is now operating under in Havana after it decided last week to pare its staff there down to a skeletal group of just 27 people.
