Cuba ‘ready to defend’ itself if attacked, ambassador says
Cuban officials say they remain open to talks while warning they will defend sovereignty as U.S. pressure deepens and oil shortages worsen.
- On Monday, Cuban Ambassador Ernesto Sober told Fox News that Havana is "ready to defend" its independence while insisting the government remains "ready to talk" with America.
- President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday targeting officials across Cuba's energy, defense, and security sectors, escalating pressure amid an ongoing oil blockade causing widespread fuel shortages.
- More than 5 million people across Cuba voiced support for sovereignty during a Labor Day parade last Friday, while gas prices have surged to $40 per gallon amid the blockade.
- Responding to Trump's Friday remarks that America would "take over" and Cuba would "give up," Sober stated those words are not in the Cuban people's dictionary.
- Havana maintains that negotiations must be based on "reciprocity, equal footing, respect, sovereignty and independence," seeking a relationship beneficial for both America and Cuban citizens.
