It is reported that such actions of the White House were taken after the "acoustic scandal" with American diplomats in Cuba. As a result, more than 21 diplomats developed headaches and hearing problems.

The US accused the Cuban leadership of deliberate attacks on American ambassadors and decided to withdraw most of the diplomatic mission from the island.

Cuban, Canadian and American investigators undertook to investigate the case, but at the moment no specific evidence of such attacks was found.

By the way, the State Department has stopped regular visa operations for Cubans. With the coming to power of Donald Trump, the relations between Washington and Havana went to a significant deterioration, in contrast to his predecessor Barack Obama, who went to rapprochement with Cuba.

As reported in "URA-Inform," Rex Tillerson recently held talks with Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, during which he brought a number of charges against his department.
