Miguel Díaz-Canel, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) and President of the Republic, stated today that the interference, threats, and military aggression being prepared by the United States against Venezuela are unacceptable.
In a message on X, the head of state revealed the true intention of the White House: to overthrow the legitimate government of Caracas.
The gunboat policy and the discredited Monroe Doctrine are part of the neocolonial past; Latin America and the Caribbean are a Zone of Peace, he declared.
Cuba has maintained its condemnation of the escalating US military aggression against Venezuela, which began last September with a deployment of naval assets in the Caribbean under false pretenses such as the fight against drug trafficking.
Cuban authorities emphasize that these actions by Washington constitute a violation of international law and the Charter of the United Nations.
Last Saturday, US President Donald Trump warned that the airspace over and around Venezuela should be considered completely closed, a measure for which, according to Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez, “no state has the authority beyond its national borders.”
