TLDR

  • Cuba's ambassador to Mexico rejected President Trump's threats to take control of the island, stating Cuba is not alone.
  • The Cuban diplomat shared a message from a Latin American and Caribbean reflection group, which called Cuba an example of resistance and dignity.
  • The group warned that any U.S. aggression would result in thousands of deaths and that they would not be complicit in such an act.

The United States, under President Donald Trump, has once again shown its imperialist tendencies by threatening to seize control of Cuba. This blatant disregard for international law and the sovereignty of nations is unacceptable. Our ambassador in Mexico, Eugenio Martínez Enríquez, has rightly rejected these threats, underscoring that Cuba stands firm and is not isolated.

The message from the Grupo de Reflexión de América Latina y El Caribe perfectly encapsulates the spirit of solidarity and resistance that defines our region. Cuba is not a threat to U.S. national security; it is a beacon of dignity and ethical conduct. The Cuban people have the right to self-determination and to live in peace under the political system they have chosen.

Trump's rhetoric is not only false but dangerous. His threats of a 'takeover' are a desperate attempt to distract from his own political woes, but they will not succeed. The people of Cuba will defend their sovereignty with every fiber of their being. Any 'cowardly action' by the U.S. would be met with fierce resistance, resulting in significant casualties for American forces. We will not stand idly by while such criminal acts are planned.
