CUBAN Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez has accused the US of slander in its attempt to justify his country’s exclusion from the forthcoming Summit of the Americas. 

US official Brian Nichols announced earlier this month that Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela will not receive invitations claiming that they do not respect the democratic charter. 

The countries, which were branded “the troika of tyranny” by the Trump administration, have been accused by Washington of not doing enough to fight terrorism.
