HAVANA, Jan 12 (NNN-PRENSA LATINA) — President Miguel Díaz-Canel condemned the immoral statements made by the US government against Cuba and reaffirmed readiness to defend the country.
In a clear allusion to the remarks made by US President Donald Trump, the Cuban leader emphasized on social media that “those who turn everything into a business, even human lives, have no moral authority to point the finger at Cuba in any way, absolutely in any way.”
In the post, Diaz-Canel argued that those who are now hysterically venting their anger against our nation are doing so out of rage at the sovereign decision of this people to choose their political model.
The head of state of the Caribbean nation told those who blame the Revolution for the severe economic shortages that they should be ashamed and thus rather remain silent.
In this regard, those who make these statements against his country “know and and admit that they are the result of the draconian measures of extreme suffocation that the US has been applying to us for six decades and threatens to surpass now,” he noted.
The president reaffirmed that Cuba is a free, independent, and sovereign nation that does not accept impositions.
He then stated categorically: “Cuba does not attack; it has been attacked by the US for 66 years, and it does not threaten; it prepares, ready to defend the Homeland to the last drop of blood. #CubaIsCourage.”
This Sunday, the island’s media gave extensive coverage to the Cuban president’s words in a context marked by the aggression against Venezuela and the continued escalation of threats from the White House against several countries. — NNN-PRENSA LATINA
