Cuba Labels 'Cartel de los Soles' as US Pretext for Aggression Against Venezuela

Kiswahili

In the latest statement supporting Venezuela, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez on January 8 denounced US officials' claims about the alleged 'Cartel de los Soles' as a fabricated pretext to justify aggression against Caracas.

Continuing Cuba's vocal opposition to US policies toward Venezuela—as expressed in Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla's December 29, 2025, criticism of US military escalation and trade measures—Rodríguez issued a new denunciation from Havana on January 8, 2026.

He asserted that recent statements by senior US officials expose the alleged 'Cartel de los Soles' as a mendacious invention aimed at legitimizing destabilizing actions against the Venezuelan government amid heightened Washington-Caracas tensions.

The remarks reaffirm Havana's longstanding solidarity with ally Venezuela and its tradition of resisting external interventions in Latin America. No responses from other nations were reported.
