Havana, May 20 (RHC)-- Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez said that U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is lying about the celebration in Cuba of May 20th -- when the neo-colonial republic was established on the island.

On his Twitter account, the head of Cuban diplomacy stated that Cubans do not commemorate this date, only remembered by the anti-Cuban groups which, from South Florida and with the broad support of the White House, still maintain annexationist interests and domination over Cuba.

"Secretary of State #USA is lying.  Cubans do not celebrate May 20th.  It is a holiday only for those who have pretensions of imperialist domination over #Cuba.  Check your history," tweeted Cuba's top diplomat.
