Washington – The new elected President, Donald Trump expelled 60 percent of Cuba's diplomats from a mystery "health attack" in Havana. The Trump administration has protest default on saving Americans. Thus, tensions between longtime rival has escalate even worse. 

Only days ago, Cuba's ambassador had received a list from State department regarding 15 names that will be excluded. The U.S. request has threatened ties with Cuba by sending the diplomats out from Havana because "it harmed if they stay" said officials. U.S. secretary, Rex Tillerson also added that they will investigate this attack and will maintain diplomatic relations with Cuba.

Bruno Rodriguez, Cuban Foreign Minister deprecate the decision as "unfair," and persuaded State not to take such a decision of politicizing this matter, where He believed can instigate an unwanted escalation and could harm the bilateral relations, but turned out it instantly unsuccessful. 

The bravery steps of "persona non-grata" taken by Trump administration delivers spikes that are likely to cracking the normal relationship between the two states by the domination of State suspicion. Recently, U.S. has taken another step in dealing with this attack by communicated with Cuban Ambassador, Jose Ramon Cabanas that the diplomats were given seven days to leave. 

In 2015, Castro and Barrack Obama had restored a good diplomatic relation by the reopening of the embassies and eased travel. After the following years, Trump has reversed some modification but has made a conformity in place. 

Investigators from medical team worry symptoms have varied widely. This devastation has been impacting so many people from hearing loss, concussions, nausea, headache, and ear-ringing. AP also has reported that several people suffer from issue with brain complication and common word recall. 

The Havana assault has repeated on the late of August which made this misery became mystery.
