USAID is in the middle of an investigation for possible corruption.

Cuba’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Rodriguez, revealed on Tuesday the millionaire amount that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) allocated to promote a government transition on the island.

Through his account in X, the Cuban Foreign Minister indicated that USAID used more than 120 million dollars to support several projects with the aim of destabilizing the Caribbean island.

The Foreign Minister repudiated the constant pressure and economic exhaustion of the United States towards the Cuban population, but insisted that they will not succeed in annihilating the Revolution.

Over the course of the month, both Rodriguez and Miguel Diaz-Canel, the Cuban president, have denounced in X the USAID support to subversive activities. According to them, the agency allocated 61 million dollars between 2001 and 2006 to 142 projects and illicit actions directed against the island.

Currently, USAID is in the midst of a possible corruption investigation, after the new administration of Donald Trump in the United States decided to freeze funding for the agency.

For decades, the U.S. government has supported financially and in large amounts, various initiatives both internal and external to Cuba, all with the goal of dismantling the Cuban Revolution.
