Cuba Calls for South American Unity After Maduro's Arrest

Following the arrest of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel has called on Latin American countries to unite against the United States. During a rally in Havana, he condemned the “military attack” by the US and the “kidnapping” of Maduro, describing it as “cruel and deceitful.” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the Cuban government should be concerned after Maduro’s arrest, characterizing Cuba as a “disaster” and its leaders as “incompetent.”
