Cuba on Saturday denounced the escalation of U.S. military threats against the country by U.S. President Donald Trump, reported Xinhua. The U.S. president escalates his threats of military aggression against Cuba to a dangerous and unprecedented scale, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel wrote on X. Diaz-Canel called on the international community and the American people to decide whether they would allow such a drastic criminal act to serve the interests of a small but wealthy and influential group seeking revenge and domination.
He said that no aggressor, no matter how powerful, would find surrender in Cuba, but rather a people determined to defend sovereignty and independence. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez also said on X the same day that Trump's clear and direct threat of a military attack had raised aggression against Cuba to dangerous levels. Rodriguez said popular support for the Cuban Revolution was demonstrated massively during May Day celebrations on Friday. Speaking at an event in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump said the United States would take control of Cuba almost immediately after finishing a job, referring to the conflict with Iran in the Middle East. He added that he could send the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to the Caribbean and have it stop about 100 yards off Cuba's coast on the way back from Iran.
