Tensions are rising between the United States and Cuba after strong words from both sides sparked concern about what could happen next. After Donald Trump hinted that he could do “anything he wants” with Cuba, the island’s president has now issued a chilling response.
Cuba’s president, Miguel Díaz-Canel, has promised the country will not back down if the U.S. tries to interfere, after President Donald Trump suggested he could potentially “take” the island nation.
The communist-led country has already been under heavy pressure from the United States for months, while also struggling with serious energy shortages that have left many citizens facing daily blackouts.
In a message shared on X late Tuesday, Díaz-Canel stated that Cuba would fight back against any attempt to remove its government or seize control of the country.
“In the face of the worst scenario, Cuba is accompanied by a certainty: any external aggressor will clash with an impregnable resistance,” he wrote.
The president further accused the United States of trying to overthrow Cuba’s leadership in order to gain control of the nation’s resources. The warning came just hours after Trump hinted during an event at the White House that action involving Cuba could be coming soon.
