Havana, June 24 (RHC)-- Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said that the alleged promotion of U.S. values has historically been a pretext for attacking other nations.

The foreign minister stressed on his Twitter account that this mode of action in U.S. foreign policy has been used to defend the economic interests of that country and establish its domination.

"The alleged promotion of American values in foreign policy has historically been a pretext for the abuse of power in order to defend the interests of big American capital through domination and hegemony," he wrote on the social network.

The defense of democracy, human rights and freedom, considered as values of the American nation, have become on numerous occasions the justification for interference into the internal affairs of other countries.

This is demonstrated, for example, by the fierce new type of war unleashed against Venezuela, accused of maintaining an anti-democratic government, ignoring the multiple electoral processes in which Chavism has won.

The aggressions, in this case, have allowed the U.S. to take billions of dollars from the South American nation.  In the same way, they point to Cuba for allegedly violating human rights, when the island complies with more than 40 international conventions on this matter of which it is a signatory.

In contrast, the United States is only a State party to 18 human rights instruments, in addition to being the only country in the world that has not ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The racism, violence and police brutality experienced on U.S. streets in recent days also point to the hypocrisy of the White House's actions.
