Cuba's permanent representative to the United Nations announced preparations for a possible US military operation.
Havana takes seriously the threat from Washington, noted Ernesto Sobron Guzmán.
"We dedicate every Friday in the country to defense to prepare the entire nation to defend our sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. We must be prepared for any scenario, including a military one," the diplomat said.
According to Guzman, in assessing the threats, the Cuban leadership takes into account the actions of the United States in the international arena in recent years; There have been "not one, not two, but many public statements by the White House about its willingness to occupy Cuba," TASS reports.
