Trump Foreign Policy and Military Actions

Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío told NBC’s Meet the Press that Havana is “preparing” for the possibility of U.S. military aggression after President Trump, in interviews including with Fox’s Peter Doocy, said it would be “a big honor” to be the president who could “take Cuba” and that he could “do anything I want with it.” Fernández de Cossío framed Cuba’s posture as defensive — rejecting regime change or becoming a “vassal state,” blaming U.S. pressure for the island’s economic and energy crises while saying Havana remains willing to negotiate with any U.S. representative — and President Miguel Díaz‑Canel warned any external aggressor would meet “impregnable resistance.”
