Cuba poses no threat; the United States does. This was stated by Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, APW reports.

"Cuba is not a threat, the United States is a threat," he wrote in X, again refuting Washington's claims that Cuba poses a threat to U.S. interests.

"The latest collapse of the national power grid, occurring just a few days after the previous one, complicates restoration efforts, but energy workers are not giving up," the Cuban president noted. He also reported that some thermal power plants on the island "are already starting up, while others are synchronizing and increasing their load." "This is an extremely complex process, which must be carried out under the genocidal oil blockade," Díaz-Canel emphasized.
