Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel and other government leaders have reaffirmed their commitment to withstand increased pressure from the United States. They acknowledged that the country faces difficult times ahead due to ongoing economic hardships and tightened U.S. sanctions.
The Cuban leadership emphasized their determination to maintain sovereignty and continue their current policies despite external challenges. They also called for national unity to navigate the economic difficulties.
**Why this matters**
The U.S. has intensified sanctions on Cuba in recent years, aiming to influence political change. Cuba’s response signals continued resistance, which may prolong economic struggles for the island nation and affect regional relations.
