Cuba rejects US military presence in southern Caribbean

Havana, Aug 18 (Prensa Latina) Cuba’s Foreign Minister, Bruno Rodriguez, today denounced the presence of US naval and air forces in southern Caribbean.

Through his account on the social network X, the FM pointed out that these activities are carried out under ‘false pretexts’ and respond to a ‘corrupt agenda’ of the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

In its publication, the head of Cuban diplomacy insisted that Latin America and the Caribbean must be respected as a zone of peace, and rejected any action that would compromise the sovereignty of the countries of the region.

The Donald Trump administration deployed more than four thousand additional marines and sailors in waters surrounding Latin America and the Caribbean to fight drug cartels.

According to CNN, based on information from two Defense officials, this is a drastic show of force that will provide Trump with a wide range of military options in case he decides to act against drug trafficking groups.
