State Department Report Details Cuba's Covert Influence Operations in the U.S.

The State Department's report alleges Cuba has cultivated ties with various American activist groups, including the National Network on Cuba, as part of a broader influence campaign.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that this campaign has spanned nearly seven decades, involving espionage and ideological subversion.
The report claims that Cuba's influence operations have reached into U.S. universities and political movements, aiming to undermine U.S. interests.
Cuba's foreign minister dismissed the report as propaganda, accusing the U.S. of using it to justify continued economic sanctions.
