Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel told NBC’s Meet the Press that he has no fear of U.S. threats from Trump and is prepared to defend Cuba—even to death—if invaded, while criticizing the U.S. blockade, insisting Cuba seeks no war, and underscoring Cuba’s right to self‑determination; he did not commit to U.S. demands or stepping down, and noted limited talks with U.S. officials.
Cuba’s president Díaz-Canel rejects Donald Trump’s threats to cut oil and funds from Venezuela and says Cuba is sovereign and ready to defend itself, framing the move as imperial coercion; critics condemn the threats while international voices warn against the U.S. blockade and call for solidarity with Cuba and Venezuela.
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel criticized the U.S. as "interventionist" amid protests over food and power shortages, accusing the U.S. of having "contempt" toward the Cuban people and revolution. The U.S. denied accusations of fueling the protests, stating support for the Cuban people's demands for human rights and freedom. Díaz-Canel attributed the protests to the U.S. embargo and criticized the U.S. for its policies towards Cuba. The protests, sparked by shortages and rising inflation, have led to calls for "freedom" and "electricity" in various parts of the country. The U.S. official emphasized that the embargo and Cuba's economic crisis are intertwined, while Díaz-Canel asserted the strength of the Cuban revolution in the face of speculation about its collapse.
