Cuba’s President Vows to Defend Nation, Even at the Cost of His Life if the US Attacks

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel warned in a recent interview that his country is bracing for possible US military action. He pledged to resist any aggression and said he would gladly die defending the island, citing Cuba’s national anthem: “dying for the homeland is to live.” He noted that the US blockade around Venezuela under “Operation Southern Spear” has choked off oil supplies to Cuba and deepened the energy crisis. Díaz-Canel dismissed any justification for a US strike or attempts to remove him from power.
