Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said his government would resist any U.S. military action with a doctrine of mass civilian defense, while also insisting that dialogue with Washington remains possible despite months of escalating tension under President Donald Trump during an interview published on Tuesday by Newsweek.
Díaz-Canel said Cuba's strategy is based on a "war of all the people," which he described as a defensive doctrine involving broad public participation. "If military aggression occurs, we will fight back, we will battle, we will defend ourselves," he said. He also warned that any U.S. attack would cause "immense losses for both nations and peoples," with "incalculable" human and material costs.
