Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said Friday that the island is preparing for a possible U.S. military attack as tensions between the two countries escalate.
Speaking during a national defense training day, Díaz-Canel said Cuba was strengthening its defenses and would resist any foreign aggression. He accused U.S. politicians and spokespeople of encouraging an attack, while saying Cuba poses no threat to other nations.
On Thursday, President Donald Trump said he would consider military intervention in Cuba. He also said he wanted to resolve the Cuba issue before leaving office in 2029.
Lo que puede y debe hacer EE.UU es poner fin al #BloqueoGenocida, acabar con el castigo colectivo y dejar a este pueblo vivir en paz.#Cuba no agrede ni amenaza a ninguna nación. Pero rechazaremos todo intento de agresión militar extranjera y para ese peligro nos preparamos. pic.twitter.com/fkpbmFabPk
