Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has defended the island’s sovereignty in the face of an escalating series of aggressions and threats currently directed at the country by the United States government.
“The future of Cuba will never be decided in the north. We made that clear as early as January 1, 1959, and it will not change, no matter how twisted the Yankee plans to force us into submission may be. `They ought to know that by now,” the president wrote on the social media platform X.
Díaz-Canel described it as “perverse” that Washington refuses to take responsibility for the collective punishment it inflicts upon the Cuban people—a punishment carried out through “a criminal blockade on fuel and a pathological persecution of anything that might contribute to the country’s development and material well-being.”
According to the head of state, the lies the United States uses to justify this genocide are becoming “increasingly ridiculous,” even as the number of people who believe them continues to shrink.
“Cuba will continue to fight for truth and justice,” the president concluded.
Díaz-Canel’s message came after U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Monday that Cuba “will fall quite soon” and that it is “a failed nation.”
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also declared on Monday that Cuba is a “failed state” that poses a “threat” to Washington’s security and interests.
