NewzThe Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly rejected the Dominican Republic's decision to expel nine members of the Cuban diplomatic mission in Santo Domingo alongside their families, giving them a seven-day deadline to leave the country. In response, Havana accused the Dominican government of acting under the subordination of the United States. This move marks a significant shift in the tone of diplomatic relations between the two nations since ties were restored.
In the context of Dominican foreign policy, the nation has historically taken firm positions against regimes it considers to be in violation of democratic principles, frequently condemning actions of such governments despite lacking an explicit formal list of targeted states. Meanwhile, domestic reaction within the Dominican Republic includes support for the government's expulsion order, as demonstrated by the Cuban Association in the Dominican Republic whose president expressed backing for the withdrawal of the diplomatic personnel.
