Claim 1: “the United States has allegedly offered Cuba a humanitarian assistance worth $100 million”
DISPUTED
There is a direct contradiction between the US government and the Cuban government. Multiple web search results report that the US (via Marco Rubio) claims to have offered $100 million in aid, while the Cuban Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, explicitly called this a 'fabricated story' and denied any knowledge of such an offer.
