Cuba is preparing for a possible military attack by the United States, has declared Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, following US President Donald Trump’s recent statements, which have been interpreted as a threat to military intervention.
We are determined to repel any attempt at foreign military aggression against our country, Díaz-Canel said.
However, Cuban president stressed that his country is peaceful and poses no threat to US national security, foreign media reports report.
His statement comes after Trump, in a radio interview, voiced his desire to realise the change of power in Cuba within the remaining two years of his mandate, not excluding either the use of military force.
I want this case with Cuba to end before I leave, Trump said, adding that he would definitely consider the possibility of a military action.
Díaz-Canel criticised the American politicians’ repeated statements about the possibility of military aggression against Cuba, though he did not directly mention President Trump.
He made these comments in the town of Boyero, south of the Havana capital, ahead of top military commanders, representatives of the Communist Party and local authorities.
Meanwhile, since the US military intervention in Venezuela in January, during which President Nicolas Maduro was captured and sent to the US, Cuba has intensified defence preparations.
Regular military exercises and meetings for co-ordinating defence measures have been held throughout the country. Army members are also conducting basic military training for civilians under the strategy known as the War of All People.
