Cuba

The Cuban government has denied reports of a secret deal with China to establish a spying base in Cuba. The reports, published by The Wall Street Journal and CNN, claimed that China and Cuba had reached an agreement for an electronic eavesdropping facility that could monitor communications in the southeastern United States. Cuban officials called the reports “mendacious and unfounded,” while the White House dismissed them as inaccurate. However, Senators Mark Warner and Marco Rubio expressed concern over the potential establishment of a Chinese intelligence facility near the US.
