The Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly rejected the Dominican Republic's decision to expel several members of its embassy in Santo Domingo, including nine diplomatic officials and their family members. In its response, Havana accused the Dominican government of acting as a subordinate to the United States.
In the context of the diplomatic strain, the Dominican Republic has historically taken firm stances against regimes it perceives as violating democratic principles, frequently condemning such actions despite lacking an official list of dictatorial territories.
Meanwhile, within the Dominican Republic, the Cuban community has weighed in on the diplomatic measure. The Asociación Cubana en República Dominicana, through its president José Alberto Fernández, publicly expressed support for the Dominican government's decision to request the withdrawal of the Cuban diplomatic personnel and their relatives.
