“United States had committed a “number of sins” in prerevolutionary Cuba, including turning the island into “the whorehouse of the U.S.”
William M. Leogrande, Back Channel to Cuba: The Hidden History of Negotiations between Washington and Havana

“I’m just asking you what we ought to be doing to pinch their nuts more than we’re doing.”4”
William M. Leogrande, Back Channel to Cuba: The Hidden History of Negotiations between Washington and Havana

“Sánchez-Parodi took a much harder line, however, on the demand that Cuba should modify its relations with the Soviet Union at the behest of the United States. “The Cubans had no intention of telling the U.S. how to regulate its relations with other nations, and could not permit that [the United States] try to regulate Cuba’s,” he argued. Nor would Cuba cease its efforts on Puerto Rico because “we believe that Puerto Rico has a need for independence and self-determination.” As to the rest of Latin America, he noted, Cuba would pledge its respect for nonintervention if the United States would acknowledge its own covert and overt intervention in the region. “For example, Chile and the Dominican Republic. We must have assurances that what has happened in the past will not happen again.”84”
