Analysis Summary
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said at a Bay of Pigs anniversary event Thursday that Cuba doesn't want war with the US but would defeat American forces if attacked, hours after Trump threatened military strikes on the island once the Iran war ends. The Trump administration has imposed an oil blockade on Cuba since capturing Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro in January, killing 32 Cuban soldiers in the operation — the blockade has devastated Cuba's economy, causing widespread power outages and hospital shortages. US officials are reportedly trying to negotiate with the Castro family, including reaching out to 94-year-old Raúl Castro, the longtime power broker still considered Cuba's ultimate decision-maker despite stepping down as president in 2021.
