Havana, December 1 (RHC)--President Miguel Díaz-Canel rebuked Wednesday the imposition of new U.S. sanctions against Cuban officials in an attempt to subvert the island's revolutionary process.

On Twitter, the president wrote: "Measures and more coercive measures, pressures, lies, and slander, that is the perverse arsenal of the empire to destabilize the country."

"They do not learn from the defeats suffered by the use of a failed policy,  he added.

Likewise, Díaz-Canel retweeted a message from Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez, who on that social media network called it a mistake to assume that Cuba would allow the United States to provoke social destabilization¨on the island.

"It is a right and a duty to safeguard sovereign prerogatives and reject foreign interference. The aggressive measures announced today do not alter that determination," said the head of the island's diplomacy.

Cuba's permanent representative to the United Nations (UN), Pedro Luis Pedroso, also wrote on Tuesday that his country does not accept intimidation, provocation, or destabilization.

The United States announced on Tuesday measures against nine Cuban officials whose visas to visit that country will be restricted.

Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, announced the measure on Twitter, without defining who are the nine referred to. The State Department's note only indicates that among them there are high-ranking officers of the Revolutionary Armed Forces and the Ministry of the Interior
