Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez publicly denounced the increase in threats from the United States against the island in recent weeks, stating that these aggressions seek to undermine national sovereignty.
During a meeting held Wednesday with the diplomatic corps accredited in Havana, Rodríguez outlined Cuba’s official position regarding the statements of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has insisted on pressuring the Caribbean nation.
The official warned that, following the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores on January 3, U.S. attempts at destabilization have not ceased, posing a risk to the stability of governments in the region.

The intensification of the threats came after the US military aggression in Venezuela, which left 32 members of the presidential security detail dead in combat.
The Cuban government announced that the deceased will be honored this Thursday in a funeral ceremony in Havana, as a show of solidarity with the Venezuelan people and rejection of the military incursions.
Rodríguez reiterated that Cuba will defend its independence and sovereignty, and will not accept external pressures that seek to alter the political order of the island.
