Cuba on Saturday denounced the escalation of U.S. military threats against the country by U.S. President Donald Trump.

"The U.S. president escalates his threats of military aggression against Cuba to a dangerous and unprecedented scale," Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel wrote on X.

Diaz-Canel called on the international community and the American people to decide whether they would allow "such a drastic criminal act" to serve the interests of a small but wealthy and influential group seeking revenge and domination.

He said that no aggressor, "no matter how powerful," would find surrender in Cuba, but rather "a people determined to defend sovereignty and independence."

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez also said on X the same day that Trump's "clear and direct" threat of a military attack had raised aggression against Cuba to dangerous levels.

Rodriguez said popular support for the Cuban Revolution was demonstrated "massively" during May Day celebrations on Friday.

Meanwhile, neighboring countries have also expressed their firm solidarity with Cuba.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro made a strong statement on social media on Saturday, resolutely opposing any form of military intervention against Cuba, viewing such an act as "an aggression against all of Latin America."

The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America - Peoples' Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) also issued a statement on Saturday, calling on the international community to oppose any threats or use of force against Cuba.

It urged the U.S. government to prioritize dialogue based on mutual respect and equality without threats or preconditions, to fully comply with the United Nations Charter, and to respect Cuba's sovereignty and independence.

Speaking at an event in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump said the United States would take control of Cuba "almost immediately" after "finishing a job," referring to the conflict with Iran in the Middle East.

He added that he "could" send the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to the Caribbean and have it stop about 100 yards off Cuba's coast "on the way back from Iran."
