Díaz-Canel stated that Cuba is an independent state and no one has the right to impose decisions on it.
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel commented on U.S. President Donald Trump's calls for an agreement with Washington. He published his position on this issue on social media platform X.
According to Díaz-Canel, external pressure is unacceptable for his country. He emphasized that Cuba is a free and sovereign state and that no one has the right to impose decisions on it.
"Cuba is an independent and sovereign country. No one will dictate to us what to do," Díaz-Canel wrote.
Moreover, he noted that the U.S. has no moral right to lecture Havana.
"Those who turn everything into business, even human lives, have no moral right to dictate anything to Cuba, absolutely nothing. Those who today hysterically attack our country do so because they are sick with rage over the sovereign decision of this people to choose their political model," the Cuban president's statement reads.
Cuba and the U.S.: Latest News
Earlier, UNIAN reported that U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Venezuela had been supplying oil and paying money to Cuba for decades, receiving in return the services of Cuban 'security forces.' In particular, this refers to the personal security officers of Nicolás Maduro and his predecessor Hugo Chávez. The White House chief emphasized that this is now in the past, as most of these Cubans died during the U.S. attack on the Venezuelan capital. Trump added that "there will be no more oil or money for Cuba."
