The President of Cuba responded to Trump with a stern statement: No one will dictate to us.

According to ТСН: The President of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel, firmly responded to the calls of United States President Donald Trump regarding an agreement between the countries. He expressed his opinion on the social network X.

Díaz-Canel emphasized that any external influence is unacceptable for Cuba, which remains a free and sovereign country.

"Cuba is an independent and sovereign country. No one will dictate to us what to do,"

The Cuban leader also stressed that those who turn human lives into business have no moral right to instruct Havana. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Cuba stated that the country has every right to import fuel from any markets that are willing to supply it, and to independently develop trade relations without external interference or pressure.

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez also emphasized that Havana does not receive and has never received financial or material benefits from providing security services to other states. He added that unlike the USA, Cuba does not use practices of mercenarism, blackmail, or military pressure in international relations.

It was previously reported that US President Donald Trump stated that Cuba will no longer receive oil and financial support from Venezuela. Senator Rick Scott also noted that events in Venezuela are just the beginning, and named countries where, according to him, the USA can facilitate the "return of democracy".

Díaz-Canel's responses and those of other Cuban officials to US statements indicate that Cuba is ready to withstand external pressure and defend its sovereignty. In a situation where countries are trying to influence each other's internal policies, it is important to observe the further actions of both states and their reactions to possible changes in international relations.
