Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez on May 17 said the United States is building a “fraudulent case” ​to justify economic war and eventual military intervention against the Caribbean island nation.

His comments were a direct response to a report by Axios, which cites classified U.S. intelligence reports stating that Cuba has obtained more than 300 military drones and has discussed using them against the U.S. military base at Guantánamo Bay, which is at the eastern end of the island. The Epoch Times is unable to verify the Axios report.
