On March 20, Ernesto Soberon Guzman, Cuba’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, stated that Havana has no intention of removing President Miguel Diaz-Canel, altering its political system, or implementing measures designed to “appease” the United States.
“The friendly takeover, regime change, and the resignation of the president have completely withdrawn from the dialogue,” Guzman said in a recent statement.
Guzman emphasized that Cuba remains unwilling to make such concessions despite ongoing U.S. energy restrictions. He stressed that any future negotiations between Washington and Havana must be grounded in mutual respect.
The diplomat also warned that Cuba would resist threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, asserting that external pressure or interference would be opposed by the country’s population, who are prepared to defend the nation’s sovereignty and independence.
This stance follows a March 18 address by President Diaz-Canel, during which he declared that any external aggressor threatening Cuba would face resistance and noted that the United States publicly threatens the nation almost daily with the violent overthrow of its constitutional order.
