Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the order ensures equity in diplomatic activities, referring to the incidents as “an attack by sound waves”. A State Department official said the 15 Cuban diplomats will have a week to leave.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez denounced the decision as “unjustified” and “politically motivated”.
