Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez rejected the new measure by the US government to suspend airlines' flights to several Cuban airports, except Havana.

Rodriguez posted on his Twitter account that the action tightens the travel ban on US citizens and mutilates their freedoms, while 'damaging people-to-people ties.'

'Concessions will not be taken from us,' Rodriguez wrote on Twitter.

On Friday, US media reported on the decision by the Donald Trump administration to suspend regular flights to all Cuban destinations, except Havana.

The measure will take effect in December and will impact American Airlines and JetBlue flights to Cuban destinations such as Villa Clara, Camagüey and Holguin.

The Associated Press explained that the Transportation Department will announce the suspension of regular flights to all Cuban cities, except Havana, a destination that will remain legal for authorized US companies.

The set of measures tightens the blockade in force almost six decades ago against Cuba.
