Cuban Leader Responds to U.S. Threats

Odaily News On the evening of March 17 local time, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel publicly responded to the U.S. government's threats against Cuba via social media, stating that "any foreign aggressor will run into an impenetrable line of resistance." Díaz-Canel pointed out that the United States publicly threatens to use force to subvert Cuba's constitutional order almost every day, using what he called an outrageous pretext—namely, "the economic difficulties faced by Cuba"—which are precisely the result of over 60 years of U.S. pressure and isolation. Díaz-Canel stated that the U.S. is attempting to openly declare its intention to appropriate Cuba, its resources, its property, and even the very economy it is trying to strangle to force Cuba into submission. Only this can explain the cruel economic war of collective punishment being waged against the entire Cuban people. Díaz-Canel emphasized that in the face of the most severe circumstances, Cuba has always firmly believed that any foreign aggressor will run into an impenetrable line of resistance. Cuba remains unwavering. (CCTV International News)
