Communiqué issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel affirmed that the largest of the Antilles is a country of peace that promotes solidarity and cooperation, but assured that the nation does not fear war. In an interview with the US publication Newsweek, the head of state maintained that the Caribbean island does not represent a threat to the United States, “much less an unusual and extraordinary threat as has been claimed,” and that there is no excuse for the US to resort to military aggression as a means of resolving bilateral differences.
