Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez criticized the United States for considering military action to “liberate” Cuba after decades of embargo. Rodriguez condemned the US government’s intentions, citing its history of economic warfare against Cuba. He highlighted the recent intensification of the blockade through executive orders, labeling it as genocidal.
US President Donald Trump, at an event in Florida, mentioned plans to take control of Cuba swiftly after dealing with conflicts in the Middle East. He also threatened to position a naval vessel near Cuba’s coast. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel called for international rejection of what he termed a criminal act benefiting a select group seeking dominance. Diaz-Canel affirmed Cuba’s determination to defend its sovereignty against any aggressor.
