Havana, Aug. 28 (Prensa Latina) Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez today emphasized Cuba’s strong rejection of the United States military deployment in the Caribbean Sea, a dangerous act that threatens the sovereignty and self-determination of Latin American countries, he asserted.
Through the social network X, the Cuban Foreign Minister stated: The Government of #Cuba strongly rejects the current deployment of #US military forces in the Caribbean Sea. This dangerous act represents a grave threat and an aggressive demonstration of force that threatens the sovereignty and self-determination of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean.
The Cuban Foreign Ministry stated in a statement that the concentration of U.S. ships and naval assets near the Venezuelan coast constitutes a direct threat to regional stability, promoted under “absurd pretexts” and in flagrant contradiction with the spirit of peace defended by Latin American and Caribbean countries.
Furthermore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Minrex) recalled that this action violates the collective commitment made by the 33 member states of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) to declare the region a Zone of Peace.
Cuba also categorically rejected the use of irregular migration flows as a justification for the militarization of the Caribbean. In this regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs questioned the presence of nuclear submarines, warships, and a disproportionate military deployment in an area with a tradition of pacifism, considering that it does not constitute an adequate or legitimate response to confront challenges such as organized crime, drug trafficking, or migration.
