Cuba Rejects US Designation as a National Security Threat
Cuba’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has declared that including the country on the United States’ list of national security threats is unacceptable and does not align with existing realities.
In a statement issued by the Cuban Foreign Ministry, it was emphasized that Havana has not provided any support or funding to terrorist organizations or extremist groups and has no history of such activities.
The statement further adds that Cuba does not host any foreign military bases or intelligence stations, and such allegations cannot serve as a basis for Washington’s security decisions.
Additionally, the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs asserted that despite differences, the country is willing to expand bilateral cooperation with the United States to confront common threats.
This stance comes as the administration of Donald Trump, the current US president, adheres to the Monroe Doctrine, viewing Latin America as Washington’s exclusive sphere of influence—a policy that has consistently drawn criticism from countries and international observers for its hegemonic and interventionist approach.
