By Zoila Palma: Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has warned that Cuba would resist any potential U.S. military aggression, saying the country would be prepared to fight and sacrifice its people if necessary.
In an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker in Havana, he said there is no justification for a U.S. invasion of Cuba.
Díaz-Canel said an invasion would have severe consequences for Cuba, the United States, and the wider region.
President Díaz-Canel stressed that Cuba does not want war, but would respond if attacked. “If that happens, there will be fighting, and there will be a struggle, and we will defend ourselves, and if we need to die, we’ll die,” he said, quoting Cuba’s national anthem.
The Cuban president called instead for dialogue with the United States, saying confrontation should be avoided through negotiation and respect between the two countries’ political systems.
He argued that discussions and agreements were possible, although difficult, and urged Washington to pursue diplomatic engagement rather than pressure.
