Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has responded to Donald Trump’s latest threats, stating that “those who turn everything into a business, even human lives, have no moral authority to point the finger at Cuba.”
On Sunday, the U.S president urged Cuban authorities to “reach an agreement” after noting that following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro last weekend, shipments of oil and money from Caracas “have stopped.”
They have no moral authority to point the finger at Cuba in any way — absolutely in no way at all — those who turn everything into a business, even human lives. Those who are now venting hysterically against our nation are consumed by rage at the sovereign decision of this people to choose their political model.”
Miguel Diaz-Canel, in response, denounced that “those who blame the Revolution for the severe economic shortages we suffer should be ashamed to remain silent” because “they are the result of the draconian measures of extreme strangulation that the U.S. has imposed on us for six decades and threatens to intensify now.”
The Cuban president concluded by proclaiming that “Cuba is a free, independent and sovereign nation” and that “it does not attack; it has been attacked by the US for 66 years, and it does not threaten; it is preparing, ready to defend the Homeland to the last drop of blood.”
