"Now is the time," cries Marco Rubio after Trump orders ships returning from Iran to pass by Cuban shores

Miguel Díaz-Canel criticized the U.S. government's ongoing ambitions regarding Cuba, responding to recent threats from Donald Trump. Following the arrest of Nicolás Maduro, Díaz-Canel has aimed to position Cuba as a revolutionary stronghold. Trump reiterated his intentions to send ships near Cuba during a rally, supported by Marco Rubio, who encouraged collaboration with the CIA for positive change in Cuba. Previous military operations against Maduro have tightened the situation, leading to an energy blockade affecting Cuba. Secret negotiations with Raúl Castro's grandson failed due to external pressures and political implications. Díaz-Canel emphasized Cuba's determination to defend its independence against hostile intentions.
