Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said on social media that Mr trump escalates his threats of military aggression against Cuba to a dangerous and unprecedented scale and marked a dangerous rise in aggression and vowed Cuba would defend its sovereignty.
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez also said, Mr Trump’s clear and direct threat of a military attack had raised aggression against Cuba to dangerous levels. President Trump, speaking in Florida, said the United States would take control of Cuba almost immediately after finishing a job, referring to the conflict with Iran. Cuba rejected the measures as unilateral coercive actions adopted by the US government that violate international law and amount to collective punishment.
