Cuba’s foreign minister has reacted angrily to remarks by US President Donald Trump about the island, according to Punch Nigeria. Trump told the United Nations General Assembly that Cuba “will fall”. The supplied report does not give the wider context of his speech or explain what he cited in support of that prediction.

Cuba’s foreign minister rejected the remarks, describing them as “falsehoods”. The available material does not include the minister’s name, a full account of the response or details of any diplomatic action taken by Havana. It also provides no information about whether the US administration has responded to the criticism.

The report establishes a public disagreement between the Cuban government and Trump over his assessment of the island’s future, but does not provide further evidence or analysis of the claim.
