Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel warned that the United States could target Cuba through three strategies: economic asphyxiation leading to social unrest, gaining control of the national economy for political change, or direct military invasion. These warnings come amid an ongoing economic crisis in Cuba, exacerbated by US sanctions and fuel blockades. Furthermore, UN officials have stated that American sanctions are directly harming Cuban citizens, particularly children who lack access to basic medicines.

Key points

  • Diaz-Canel warned the U.S. could use economic pressure to create social unrest as a pretext for intervention.
  • A second potential US goal is seizing financial control of Cuba's economy to facilitate political system change.
  • The third scenario outlined by Diaz-Canel is direct military action against Cuba.
  • UN High Commissioner Volker Türk warned that U.S. sanctions and fuel restrictions are causing direct harm, especially to vulnerable citizens.
  • Cuba is currently facing an intense economic crisis due to expanded US sanctions and blockades.
