The U.S. government convened delegations from 65 countries at the Harry S Truman Building in Washington on July 20, 2026, to coordinate action against far-left extremism and Marxist subversion networks. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent participated in the effort targeting radical left, Marxist groups, and foreign subversion networks.
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel posted on X the same day that a new and more dangerous version of McCarthyism is back in the United States. Rubio posted on X that for more than six decades the Cuban regime has been the leading sponsor of radical leftism and Third Worldism in the United States.
He added that the State Department is exposing the full history of Cuban espionage and subversion in the country.
A State Department report released July 20 stated the same claims about Cuban sponsorship. The report cited former Cuban intelligence agents who alleged that roughly 90 percent of personnel at the Cuban Institute of Friendship with Peoples, known as ICAP, are connected to Cuban intelligence operations. ICAP claims more than 2,000 affiliated solidarity groups across 150 countries.
The National Network on Cuba links 77 left-wing activist organizations, nonprofits, and campaigns. The Democratic Socialists of America are members of the network and have said they are partners of the sanctioned ICAP.
