Cuban President: Washington is Considering 3 Scenarios to Overthrow Our Country

SadaNews - Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel stated that the United States is considering three scenarios against Cuba, which include creating conditions for a social explosion through economic pressure, controlling the economy, or resorting to military aggression.

According to the Cuban president in an interview with the Spanish website "El Diario" published yesterday, Monday, these scenarios are driven by U.S. President Donald Trump's push to exert pressure for regime change on the island, which has been under Communist control since former President Fidel Castro led a revolution there in 1959.

Díaz-Canel explained that one of the American scenarios is to push for a social explosion by suffocating the economy, which would provide the United States with a pretext to intervene in the country under the guise of humanitarian aid.

The United States effectively imposes a blockade on Cuba by threatening sanctions on countries that supply it with fuel, leading to power outages and exacerbating the worst crisis the country has faced in decades.

The U.S. has also announced a package of sanctions targeting Cuban entities and officials, in addition to the U.S. judiciary directing an indictment against former President Raúl Castro regarding a case from 1996.

The Trump administration considers the communist island, located 150 kilometers off the coast of Florida, to be an "exceptional threat" to U.S. national security. Despite these tensions, both governments confirm continued diplomatic communication between them.

The Cuban president mentioned that the second scenario is based on "coercive dialogue" accompanied by the "maximum degree of pressure" on the island's economy. This strategy aims, according to him, to "control the Cuban economy," paving the way for "eventual political regime change."

This scenario is being discussed at a time when many foreign companies, including international hotel groups, have announced partial or complete withdrawals from Cuba, fearing potential U.S. sanctions.

As for the third scenario, the Cuban president raised the possibility of the United States launching a military aggression against Cuba.

Díaz-Canel pointed out that these hypotheses are not fabricated by the Cubans but are based on repeated statements by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and President Donald Trump.

In the face of these possibilities, the Cuban president emphasized the need for the country to prepare to defend itself to avoid any "surprise" or "defeat."
