Посол Кубы отверг разговоры о капитуляции и призвал США к переговорам на принципах взаимности
Посол Кубы при ООН Эрнесто Соберон Гусман опроверг предположения о том, что кубинское правительство может уступить под растущим давлением США. Выступая в эфире программы «America's Newsroom», дипломат подчеркнул, что понятия «сдача» или «коллапс» не являются частью национального самосознания кубинцев, отметив приоритетность таких ценностей, как стойкость, сопротивление и защита суверенитета.Заявление прозвучало в ответ на слова президента Дональда Трампа, который предположил возможность быстрого установления контроля над Кубой после завершения конфликта с Ираном. Трамп также заявил, что использование авианосца USS Abraham Lincoln у берегов острова может привести к добровольной сдаче кубинских властей.Ситуация осложняется введением администрацией Трампа новых санкций против компаний и стран, ведущих бизнес с Кубой, особенно в сфере поставок нефти. Это усиливает экономическое давление на Гавану, которая уже столкнулась с острым дефицитом топлива, ростом цен на бензин и масштабными отключениями электроэнергии. В ООН ранее предупреждали, что нехватка ресурсов ставит под угрозу работу критически важных служб страны.Несмотря на обострение отношений, Гусман сообщил, что Гавана остается открытой для переговоров с Вашингтоном. По его словам, Куба готова к выстраиванию новых отношений, которые были бы взаимовыгодными и основывались бы на принципе взаимности.
Cuban ambassador rejects ‘surrender’ talk, calls for US negotiations as sanctions tighten
Cuban Ambassador to the U.N. Ernesto Soberon Guzman pushed back on suggestions that the communist regime could cave under mounting U.S. pressure, as the Trump administration ramps up sanctions amid a deepening economic crisis on the island."If someone thinks that words like 'give up, surrender, or collapse' are in the Cuban dictionary, in the people's dictionary, that person, those peoples, are sorely mistaken," Guzman told "America's Newsroom.""In the Cuban dictionary, you will find words like resilience, resistance, defense of sovereignty and defense of our independence."The ambassador’s comments came in response to recent remarks from President Donald Trump, who suggested the U.S. could quickly "[take] over" Cuba once the Iran conflict has ended.TRUMP TOUTS IRAN TALKS PROGRESS AND SUCCESS IN VENEZUELA, SAYS 'CUBA IS NEXT'"On the way back from Iran, we'll have one of our big — maybe the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, the biggest in the world — we'll have that come in, stop about 100 yards offshore, and they'll say, 'Thank you very much. We give up,'" the president said.Guzman's remarks also come as new sanctions from the Trump administration target countries and companies that do business with Cuba, particularly those supplying oil, tightening pressure on Havana as it grapples with soaring prices, fuel shortages and widespread power outages.TRUMP AIMS TO RESET WAR POWERS CLOCK WITH CONTROVERSIAL BID TO BYPASS CONGRESSThe island nation is facing one of its worst economic crises in decades, with reports of gasoline prices skyrocketing and essential goods becoming increasingly scarce.A United Nations official recently warned that Cuba is "running out of time" as fuel shortages threaten critical services.Despite the growing strain and tensions with the U.S., Guzman signaled that Havana remains open to negotiations with Washington, while insisting any relationship between the two entities should be based on "reciprocity.""We are ready to talk with the U.S. government and to have a different kind of relation[s]… beneficial for both parts," he said.
