Following days of protests in Cuba, the island's President Miguel Diaz-Canel accuses the U.S. of firing up protesters. He also blasted the States as "interventionists" and for having "contempt" toward the Cuban people and the Cuban revolution in an interview with NBC News on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department's spokesman Vedant Patel called the accusations "absurd" on Monday. He added that the unrest "was a reflection of the dire situation on the island."
