WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday that Cuba’s people can have a “new relationship” with the US in a message condemning the Communist island’s current leadership. “The reason you are forced to survive 22 hours a day without electricity is not due to an oil blockade by the US,” Rubio said in the Spanish-language message posted to X that blamed the GAESA conglomerate run by Cuba’s armed forces and founded by former leader Raul Castro. “Cuba is controlled by GAESA,” the secretary said.
