Cuban Diplomat Slams U.S. Attacks on Venezuelan Boats

As the Trump administration escalates its pressure campaign on Venezuela, we speak with Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío, who is in New York for the United Nations General Assembly. In recent weeks, the U.S. has bombed multiple alleged Venezuelan "drug boats" at sea, killing at least 17 people without providing any clear evidence that they were involved in drug trafficking or linked to the government in Caracas. The U.S. has also increased its military footprint in the Caribbean and placed a $50 million bounty on President Nicolás Maduro for information leading to his arrest for narcotrafficking.

much weight coming from a Cuban where so many criminal acts have been committed by its regime. It is a good case of calling "the kettle black".

and no nation is without sin, but two points: Cuba has an ongoing moratorium on executions since 2003, and they believe that health care is a human right.

So in regards to human rights, I believe Cuba's pot is a paler shade of black.
