(MENAFN) Cuba has passed a note of protest to the top US diplomat in Havana over the Trump administration's creation of a Cuba Internet Task Force that it claims is an attempt to violate its rule and carry out subversive activities.
The US State Department said it was assembling the task force to promote "the free and unregulated flow of information" on the Communist-run island that has one of the lowest internet penetration rates in the world.
The Foreign Ministry said: "The Foreign Ministry's note asked the US government to cease its subversive, interventionist and illegal actions against Cuba... and calls upon it to respect Cuban sovereignty."
Cuba's Foreign Ministry chief for US Affairs tweeted: "Once again, the US government tries to justify the reinforcement of its unjust, illegal and universally rejected blockade policy versus Cuba with disrespectful language."
