The military threats from the US president against Cuba have reached a "dangerous and unprecedented level", according to Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel.

The international community should decide whether "such a criminal act should be allowed to satisfy the interests of a small but influential group, eager to exact revenge and dominate", Diaz-Canel writes on X.

He adds that "No aggressor, no matter how powerful, will find surrender in Cuba."

During a speech in Florida on Friday, Trump threatened that the US will take control of Cuba "almost immediately". But first he will "finish the job" in Iran.

According to Trump's plan, the United States will send the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to Cuba, which will stop 100 meters from the coast. Then, according to Trump, the Cubans will say: "Thank you very much, we surrender."
