They insist they don&#8217;t know, but it has been very worrying and troublesome.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">The Cuban Foreign Ministry, in the text published on the night of last Wednesday, \u201cemphatically emphasizes that Cuba has never allowed or will allow Cuban territory to be used for any action against accredited diplomatic officials or their families, without exception.&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">In addition, it \u201creiterates the disposition to cooperate to clarify this situation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">According to the communique, last February 17 the U.S. Embassy in Havana and the Department of State informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the occurrence of some \u201calleged incidents affecting some officials of that diplomatic mission and their families.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span lang=\"en-US\">Cuba took this issue with the utmost seriousness and acted expeditiously and professionally in order to clarify the facts of this situation, initiating a comprehensive, priority and urgent investigation on the indications of the highest level of the Cuban government,\u201d the text continued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Havana \u201cconveyed to the United States Embassy the need for information-sharing and proposed to establish cooperation between the competent authorities of both countries.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Among other measures, the Cuban authorities also \u201cexpanded and reinforced the protection and security measures of the mission, its staff and diplomatic residences,\u201d the Foreign Ministry affirms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">In Cuba, the majority of the diplomatic personnel and their families live in housing that belongs to the Cuban state and there\u2019s a very restrictive regulation for foreigners temporarily residing on the island to privately rent homes to Cuban individuals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">On May 23, the U.S. government conveyed to the Cuban authorities that two of its officials in Washington had to leave the country, an \u201cunjustified and unsubstantiated decision\u201d that motivated a formal protest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">MINREX reaffirmed that the island \u201ccomplies rigorously and seriously\u201d with all its obligations arising from the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations in connection with the protection and inviolability of diplomatic agents and the premises of diplomatic missions, and defended that Cuba is considered \u201ca safe destination for both visitors and foreign diplomats, including Americans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span lang=\"en-US\">THE CONTROVERSY BEGINS<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">These events became news after Department of State spokeswoman Heather Nauert gave the press a cryptic explanation about the \u201cincidents\u201d suffered by U.S. diplomats in Havana and that in turn led to Washington asking Cuba for the exit of two of its officials in that country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">The spokeswoman gave the information in her daily press briefing after being asked about the \u201cincidents.\u201d Nauert specified that the U.S. government has been investigating for months what occurred, although she did not explain in what the \u201cvariety of physical symptoms\u201d suffered by the diplomats consist of, following the policy of the Department of State to not give details when the situation involves the health of U.S. citizens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Neither did she specify how many U.S. officials left the Havana embassy as a consequence of the event nor if they had been replaced. She only confirmed that the life of the affected was not at risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Nauert did not say which government agency is heading the investigation of what occurred, but an official FBI source confirmed to CBS that the Bureau is participating in the investigations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">The spokeswoman underlined several times that the Donald Trump administration \u201ctakes very seriously\u201d these \u201cincidents\u201d because the Cuban executive \u201chas the responsibility of protecting\u201d the U.S. diplomatic personnel \u201caccording to the Geneva Convention.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Asked why the expulsion of the Cuban officials took place in May of this year while the \u201cincidents\u201d took place in 2016, the spokeswoman limited herself to saying that it takes time to determine what occurred because it requires \u201cmedical tests.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">Cuba-U.S. relations are at a moment of uncertainty after President Trump announced in June a rollback in the rapprochement between the two countries promoted during the Obama administration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">The change of policy announced by Trump in Miami is still not in force, but its application should affect Americans\u2019 travel to Cuba and business possibilities for U.S. companies on the island. However, the embassy in Havana will remain open.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">The Cuban government regretted the \u201chostile rhetoric that recalls the times of open confrontation with our country,\u201d but insisted on its will to \u201ccontinue the respectful dialogue and the cooperation on issues of mutual interest,\u201d as well as \u201cthe negotiation of pending bilateral affairs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en-US\">EFE \/ OnCuba<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cuban government affirmed it has never allowed the island to be used for actions against foreign diplomats and said it was willing to cooperate to clarify some \u201cincidents\u201d that affected the health of officials of the U.S. embassy in Havana.
