Rare US–Cuba Military Meeting Held Near Guantanamo Bay Amid Rising Tensions

The head of US Southern Command has held a rare meeting with senior Cuban military officials near the perimeter of the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay. Washington says the discussions focused on operational security, force protection and maintaining communication between both militaries. The meeting comes at a time of growing tensions between the United States and Cuba, following military drills across the island and warnings from Havana about the risk of possible US aggression. Analysts say the talks may reflect broader efforts by Washington to increase pressure on Cuba while assessing military and political responses during a period of strained relations. The encounter marks one of the highest-level military exchanges between the two countries in recent years.
