It also condemned Tillerson’s remarks in support of the US trade embargo against Cuba. The ministry criticised Tillerson for touting the Monroe Doctrine as a valid foreign policy tool for today’s world. Since then, it has been regarded as a move by Washington to exercise control over Latin America. But our America has awakened and it will not be so easy to crush it,” the ministry said.
