Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío warned on Sunday that the country’s military was actively preparing for the possibility of aggression from the Trump administration. In a press conference, the deputy foreign minister expressed his concern over the increasing tension between the United States and Cuba and stated that the Cuban military is always prepared to defend the country and its people.
Fernández de Cossío’s statement comes amidst rising tensions between the two nations, with the Trump administration imposing harsh economic sanctions on Cuba in an attempt to force the communist government to make political and economic reforms. The deputy foreign minister highlighted the need for Cuba to be on guard against any potential military aggression from the United States, stating that they would be naïve to ignore the current situation.
“Our military is always prepared. And in fact, it is preparing these days for the possibility of military aggression,” Fernández de Cossío said at the press conference. He further emphasized that the Cuban military is a well-trained and organized force, ready to protect its people and sovereignty in the face of any threat.
The deputy foreign minister’s statement serves as a reminder that Cuba has a long history of defending itself against foreign aggression. Despite facing numerous challenges and aggression in the past, the country has continued to stand strong and maintain its sovereignty. The Cuban people have always shown great resilience, and the military is a testament to their unwavering determination to defend their homeland.
The tensions between the United States and Cuba have been on the rise since President Trump took office in 2017 and rolled back some of the progress made towards normalized relations during the Obama administration. The recent move by the U.S. to restrict travel and tighten economic sanctions has only added fuel to the fire, leaving the Cuban government with no choice but to prepare for the worst. However, Fernández de Cossío made it clear that Cuba is not seeking any confrontation with the U.S., but will continue to defend itself if necessary.
“We are not provoking any of this, nor do we want to be victims of any of this. But our history has taught us that we must always be prepared,” he said.
The Cuban government has been actively working towards finding a peaceful solution to the current tensions, but it is evident that they are not willing to back down when it comes to defending their sovereignty. The country’s military has been carrying out training exercises and increasing their readiness in the face of potential aggression from the U.S. They are also constantly monitoring the situation and taking necessary measures to protect their people and borders.
Fernández de Cossío’s statement sends a strong message to the Trump administration that Cuba is not to be underestimated or taken lightly. The country and its people are well-prepared to defend themselves against any aggression and will not hesitate to do so.
In the midst of this uncertain situation, the Cuban people remain united and resilient, standing by their government and ready to defend their country. The deputy foreign minister’s words serve as a reminder that Cuba will not back down in the face of any challenge and will continue to fight for its independence and sovereignty.
So, while the possibility of aggression from the United States looms, the Cuban military remains steadfast and prepared. Their determination and strength should serve as an inspiration to all nations facing similar challenges. As the world watches, Cuba stands strong in the face of potential aggression and serves as a reminder that strength and resilience can overcome any threat.
