Díaz-Canel: US considers three scenarios against Cuba, including military aggression

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel asserted that the United States government is pursuing a three-pronged strategy against the island nation. These scenarios include intensifying financial pressure to incite social upheaval, gaining operational control over Cuba's internal economy, and ultimately, preparing for potential military aggression.

In a recent international profile interview, Díaz-Canel elaborated on these strategic objectives. He described the first scenario as using economic suffocation to provoke a social explosion, which could then serve as a pretext for U.S. intervention under the guise of humanitarian aid. This strategy aims to destabilize the country from within.

The second scenario, according to the Cuban leader, involves coercive dialogue and maximum pressure to effectively seize control of the Cuban economy. The goal here is to engineer a political system change, which he identified as the primary aspiration of the United States. This economic pressure is being applied in an already challenging environment for Cuba's market.

Díaz-Canel also addressed the ongoing tension, noting that U.S. President Donald Trump consistently labels Cuba a "threat" to national security. Despite the significant political distance and hostile rhetoric, both governments maintain minimal technical communication and diplomatic contacts. The president's remarks were disseminated through Cuba's official presidential portal, underscoring the government's concern over U.S. policy.
