Cuba Responds to Trump: Ready to Defend Homeland 'to the Last Drop of Blood'

Cuba has responded to threats from Donald Trump, who stated that he would halt oil and money shipments from Venezuela to Cuba unless Cuba reaches an agreement with the United States. Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel stated that Cuba is a free, independent, and sovereign nation and will not be dictated to by anyone. He emphasized that Cuba does not threaten but defends itself from US attacks for 66 years, declaring its readiness to defend the homeland 'to the last drop of blood'.
