Cuban President Warns U.S. Against Attack

0:00Cuban President Miguel Diaz Canal just dropped a strong warning to the United States, saying there's zero reason for any attack on the island or moves. To boot him out of office. This comes after President Donald Trump floated the idea of a friendly takeover of Cuba back in February, stirring up old rivalries between the two. Nations In a recent interview on NBC's Meet the Press, Diaz Canal spoke through a translator, stressing that a military strike or surgical op against him would cost a fortune and mess with regional security big time. Despite some diplomatic chats, tensions keep climbing. Cuba's pointing fingers at America's hostile policies, especially an energy blockade that's crippling their fuel supply. The island only produces about 40% of what it needs, hitting everything from hospitals and buses, de factories, and daily services hard. Things got worse when oil shipments from Venezuela dried up after U.S. forces hit that country in January, grabbing President Nicolas Maduro, and hauling him to New York on drug charges.
