Colombian President Gustavo Petro rejected the possibility of a US military intervention in Cuba. He stated that any aggression against the island would also be against Latin America. He emphasized that only Cubans own their country.
President Gustavo Petro voiced his opposition to a possible military aggression against Cuba via his X account. He stated that "a military aggression against Cuba is also an aggression against Latin America" and that "Cubans are the only owners of their country". He also affirmed that "the Caribbean is a zone of peace and that must be respected".
This stance comes amid tensions between the Cuban government and the United States. Recently, US President Donald Trump reportedly declared at an event in Florida: “We will take Cuba very soon. After Iran, we might bring the USS Lincoln to its coasts and then they will surrender".
On May 1, the Cuban government called for mobilizations to defend its sovereignty and reject intervention threats from Washington. In the United States, the Senate will vote next week on a Democratic initiative to prevent Trump from launching an attack against Cuba.
