Cuban authorities are taking the threat of a possible US military operation against the island seriously and regularly carrying out measures to prepare the population for the country's defense, APA reports, citing Cuba's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ernesto Soberón Guzmán.
"We take this issue very seriously. For example, in Cuba, we dedicate every Friday to defense in order to prepare all our people to protect our sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity. We must be prepared for any situation, including a military scenario," the diplomat said.
According to him, Havana is closely monitoring statements by senior US officials who do not rule out the use of force against Cuba.
The diplomat stated that the Cuban leadership also takes into account Washington's actions on the international stage in recent years when assessing potential threats.
"There have been not just one or two, but numerous public statements by senior representatives of the current US administration expressing their readiness to take over, bomb, and destroy Cuba. This is one of the main reasons why we take these threats seriously," Guzmán emphasized.
