"Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said on X late Tuesday that the Trump administration "publicly threatens" Cuba's government almost daily with overthrowing it, and any act of aggression "will clash with an impregnable resistance.""
"The Trump administration is looking for Díaz-Canel to leave as the U.S. continues negotiating with the Cuban government, according to a U.S. official and a source with knowledge of talks between Washington and Havana."
"The administration has effectively halted vital oil exports to Cuba, pushing the Caribbean nation to the brink. The Cuban people that Trump and Rubio say they want to help have been left reeling."
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel responded to Trump administration threats of potential military intervention and regime change against Cuba. Trump stated he could do "whatever he wants" with the island and threatened "imminent action," while Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanded Cuba's socialist economic model "change dramatically." The Trump administration seeks Díaz-Canel's removal while negotiating with the Cuban government. Díaz-Canel declared any aggression would face "impregnable resistance." The administration has halted vital oil exports to Cuba, severely damaging the economy already weakened by decades of U.S. sanctions. These threats follow military actions against Venezuela and Iran by the Trump administration.
