Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said in interview with NBC that he has “no fear” of President Donald Trump and his threats to “take” Cuba, Politico reported.
“I have no fear. I am willing to give my life for the revolution,” Díaz-Canel said on “Meet the Press,” he said.
He stressed that Cuba does not want a war, and added that he doesn’t believe “sensitive” American people would support an invasion of the small island just 90 miles off the coast of Florida. But if one were to happen, he said, there would be “very high costs for everyone involved.”
“If the time comes, I don’t think there would be any justification for the United States to launch a military aggression against Cuba, or for the U.S. to undertake a surgical operation or the kidnapping of a president,” Díaz-Canel said, referring to the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro earlier this year.
“If that happens, there will be fighting, and there will be a struggle, and we will defend ourselves, and if we need to die, we’ll die, because as our national anthem says, “Dying for the homeland is to live.”
