US rejects Cuban accusation that it is behind protests

- United States
The United States is not behind the protests in Cuba and the accusation that Washington was plotting them was "absurd," State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel told a news briefing on Monday.
Cuba's government confirmed that five protests had taken place across the island on Sunday. President Miguel Diaz-Canel repeated a frequent accusation leveled by Havana that the United States was seeking to overthrow the island's communist-run government.
