Mitchell Valdés-Sousa, director of the Cuban Neuroscience Research Center, said in an interview with reporters in Havana on the 21st that the CIA's investigation report on "Havana syndrome" has not helped to improve U.S.-Cuban relations, and everything that happens around the so-called "Havana syndrome" is "very absurd."
According to US media reports on the 20th, an investigation report released by the CIA believes that most of the so-called "Havana syndrome" cases that appear in the personnel of US embassies and consulates abroad may be caused by environmental factors, unidentified health problems and stress, rather than hostile countries using "secret weapons" on a large scale against US diplomats.
Asked whether the CIA's report's conclusions would help improve U.S.-Cuba relations, Valdés-Sousa made it clear that it would not. Because the report still holds, he said, the possibility that a small number of cases were "attacked" could not be ruled out.
Since 2016, many U.S. agencies abroad have reported symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and tinnitus, most of whom are based in Havana, the capital of Cuba. Former U.S. President Donald Trump's administration believes that this is the result of Cuba's use of some kind of "secret weapon" and calls the symptoms "Havana syndrome.".
