Cuba has been under attack by the United States for 66 years and is ready to defend its independence until the last drop of blood. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel stated this in response to US President Donald Trump's statements.
"Cuba is a free, independent and sovereign country. No one tells us what to do. Cuba is not attacking. The United States has been attacking it for 66 years. Cuba does not threaten. it prepares and is ready to defend itself to the last drop of blood," Diaz-Canel wrote in X.
He noted that the United States has no moral right to blame Cuba for anything, because it is the American authorities that "turn everything, including human lives, into a business." "Those who are now hysterically attacking our country are filled with anger because of the sovereign decision of our people to choose their own political model."
Those who blame the revolution for the severe economic difficulties we are experiencing should be ashamed, because they know and admit that this is the result of the brutal strangulation measures that the United States has taken against us for six decades and now threatens to tighten them," the president added.
On January 11, US President Donald Trump announced that Cuba will no longer receive oil and money from Venezuela.
