Christopher LandauUndersecretary of State of the American Union, accused Mexico of “rely on fantasies“in his posture in favor of the end of “trade blockade” a Cuba.
This Wednesday, the US official criticized the Mexican position in the General Assembly of the United Nations Organization (UN), after the ambassador Héctor Vasconcelos reiterated his solidarity with Cuba and the urgent need to end the United States “blockade” on the island, which the former US ambassador described as a “lie from beginning to end“.
