Cuban authorities have reacted strongly to a series of statements from the United States, which they interpret as escalating threats of military intervention against the island. Havana describes these remarks as "dangerous" and a potential violation of international law, in a context already marked by high bilateral tensions.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez accused Washington of "insinuating military action" under the guise of wanting to "liberate" Cuba. In a message posted on social media, he denounced what he considers hypocrisy and cynicism, pointing to decades of US sanctions as the main cause of the country's economic difficulties.
These statements come as Cuba faces a major energy crisis, exacerbated by a US oil blockade that has drastically reduced fuel deliveries. This situation has led to repeated power outages and heightened social tensions on the island.
Havana believes that pressure exerted by the United States directly contributes to the deteriorating living conditions of the population. Cuban authorities accuse Washington of using these difficulties as political leverage, while denying any responsibility for the current situation.
For their part, the United States has not officially confirmed any plans for military intervention, but recent statements have fueled concerns within the Cuban government. This rhetoric is part of a climate of historically strained relations between the two countries.
In this context, Cuba calls for de-escalation and warns against the consequences of possible military action, which it believes could worsen an already critical economic and humanitarian situation.
