The Cuban president claims that U.S. special forces illegally abducted Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, and that 32 Cuban soldiers who were protecting Maduro were killed in a 40‑minute operation. He cites Fidel Castro’s teachings, stating that no enemy is invincible and that any attempt to seize Cuba will meet strong resistance.
The president also denies the existence of Chinese military bases in Cuba, calling the allegations “manipulated lies,” and demands that the United States identify the locations of such bases. He reiterates that Cuba has never taken aggressive action against the United States.
He describes the U.S. 60‑year blockade of Cuba as the longest in history and urges Washington to lift it.
