- Cuba's permanent representative ruled out removing the country's president from power in favor of the United States
Cuba is not considering the possibility of removing President Miguel Diaz-Canel, changing the political system or other steps aimed at "appeasing" the United States. This was announced on March 20 by the Permanent Representative of the Caribbean Republic to the UN, Ernesto Soberon Guzman.
"The friendly takeover, regime change, and the resignation of the president have completely withdrawn from the dialogue," he said in an interview with Bloomberg.
According to Guzman, Havana is not ready to make such concessions even against the background of energy restrictions from the United States. The diplomat stressed that possible negotiations between the two countries should be based on the principles of mutual respect.
He also noted that in the event of threats from US President Donald Trump, Cuba intends to resist. According to him, any attempts at external pressure or interference will be opposed by the country's population, which is ready to defend the sovereignty and independence of the state, clarifiesГазета.Ru ".
