The Dominican Republic has formally ‌asked Cuba to withdraw nine members of its diplomatic mission and ⁠their relatives, the foreign ministry said on Thursday, without explaining further.

The move comes as Dominican leadership has ‌increasingly ⁠criticised Cuba, whose allies are dwindling as the impact ⁠of a U.S.-led economic crackdown makes life ⁠on the island more and ⁠more difficult.
