Cuban leader responds to US threat

On the evening of March 17 local time, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel publicly responded to the US government's threats against Cuba via social media, stating that "any foreign aggressor will encounter an impenetrable line of resistance." Díaz-Canel pointed out that the US has been openly threatening to overthrow Cuba's constitutional order by force almost daily, using the infuriating pretext of "economic difficulties facing Cuba," which he claimed are the result of over 60 years of US suppression and isolation. Díaz-Canel stated that the US is attempting to openly claim ownership of Cuba, its resources, property, and even the economy it is trying to strangle to force Cuba into submission. Only in this way can this brutal economic war, a collective punishment against the entire Cuban people, be justified. Díaz-Canel emphasized that, facing the most dire situation, Cuba firmly believes that any foreign aggressor will encounter an impenetrable line of resistance. Cuba remains steadfast.
