Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez warned that any U.S. military action against Cuba would be met with "all" the force of the Cuban state and people, saying such a conflict would become "a bloodbath" while insisting Havana remains open to diplomatic dialogue despite worsening tensions with Washington.
In an interview with CNN, Rodríguez rejected repeated U.S. claims that Cuba poses a national security threat, calling the assertion "ridiculous."
