Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel responded to U.S. President Donald Trump's statement, "It will be my honor to take Cuba. I think that once I take Cuba, I can do whatever I want with it." Speaking about the crisis involving Russia and China, Diaz-Canel stated, "Any external aggressor will face an insurmountable resistance."
While U.S. President Donald Trump's words "The honor of taking Cuba will be mine" echoed in the world agenda, a strong response came from Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel.
Diaz-Canel criticized the Washington administration, stating that the U.S. threatens to forcibly overthrow the constitutional order in Cuba almost every day.
"EVERY AGGRESSOR FACES RESISTANCE"
The Cuban leader sent a clear message against any potential foreign intervention. Diaz-Canel stated, "Any foreign aggressor will face an insurmountable resistance."
OPEN SUPPORT FROM RUSSIA
The Kremlin also reacted strongly to Trump's words. Russia emphasized that Cuba is an independent state and announced its readiness to support Havana against the embargo imposed by the U.S. The statement conveyed that cooperation between the two countries would continue.
CONCRETE MOVE FROM CHINA
Following Russia, China also took a concrete step towards Cuba. It was reported that the installation of 5,000 solar energy systems made in China has begun in the country, which has been struggling with power outages for days. This step aims to alleviate Cuba's energy crisis and strengthen electricity supply in critical sectors.
GLOBAL TENSION DEEPENS
The involvement of Russia and China following Trump's statements has led to comments about the formation of a new geopolitical tension line through Cuba. Experts point out that a new power struggle may emerge among great powers in the Caribbean.
