At least 16 employees of the American Embassy in Cuba suffered as a result of "acoustic attacks". This was stated by the official representative of the State Department of the United States Heather Neurt.
“We can confirm that at least 16 civil servants working at the embassy have appeared certain symptoms,” Neoert said. According to her, the State Department and the FBI continue the investigation, but Washington does not have information about the sources and causes of attacks. Cuba authorities have cooperation in the investigation. They categorically deny any actions against employees of the American diplomatic mission.
At the end of 2016, employees of the US Embassy in Cuba began to complain about poor health, in particular, nausea, hearing loss, headaches and difficulties with orientation in space. Later, the version was put forward that the reason was the use of certain sound devices against diplomats.
The US Embassy in Cuba opened in 2016. Before that, Washington and Havana have not maintained diplomatic relations for 55 years. The resumption of the work of the American embassy in Cuba was one of the measures taken as part of the improvement of bilateral relations, the initiator of which was the previous US President Barack Obama.
On June 16, US President Donald Trump announced the upcoming revision of Cuba Policy . He intends to return part of the restrictions canceled by the Obama administration, namely, to ban American companies to trade with Cuban military and limit the country's visit to US citizens. At the same time, Trump assured that Washington’s diplomatic relations with Havana will be preserved. It is also not supposed to stop the sea and aviation communication with Cuba.
The US president explained his decision by the fact that the abolition of the Obama administration against the neighboring country did not help the Cuban people, but only strengthened the authoritarian regime of Raul Castro and encouraged him to further political repression. Trump expressed the hope that Cuba would soon become free.
