Cuba's Volleyball Team Barred From US Event in Latest Sport Spat
Cuba's volleyball team was denied visas for a tournament in Puerto Rico, the latest example of a US travel crackdown that the communist government blasted as discriminatory and said could hurt its ability to participate in the Olympics.
The denial is another example of 'racist and xenophobic visa restrictions developed by Secretary of State' Marco Rubio, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said Friday in a post on X. 'They're trying to block the development of Cuban sports, which are already limited' by US economic sanctions.
