From NY POst: Secretary of State Marco Rubio vowed the United States would get answers about a Cuba shootout that killed four people and injured six others aboard a speedboat from Florida.
Cuba’s Ministry of the Interior announced the deadly altercation in a post on social media, declaring it was protecting “its territorial waters” when its border troops killed at least four and wounded six who were aboard a Florida-registered boat that had entered Cuban waters.
“We’re going to find out exactly what happened and then we will respond accordingly,” Rubio said Wednesday while traveling to Saint Kitts and Nevis.
Rubio said “it is highly unusual to see shootouts in the open sea like that. That’s not something that happens every day.”
He seemed skeptical about Cuba’s report and vowed that the U.S. would find its “own information on this.”
“We’re not gonna base our conclusions on what they told us,” he said. “We’ll respond appropriately based on what our information tells us.”
Vice President JD Vance also weighed in, saying, “Hopefully, it’s not as bad as we fear it could be, but I can’t say more because I just don’t know more.”
