Costa Rica Breaks with Cuba, Denounces Regime as 'Vile Tyranny' in Rubio Meeting

Costa Rican Foreign Minister Manuel Tovar, during a Washington visit with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, reaffirmed the break in relations with Havana and publicly denounced the Cuban regime as a 'vile tyranny' denying freedom and prosperity. This marks a sharp escalation in Costa Rica's rhetoric and diplomatic posture toward Cuba, aligning with recent US pressure. The move signals a potential regional realignment in Central America, though its immediate impact is limited.
