Cuba's president says he's 'not stepping down' in interview with NBC News
In his first interview with a U.S. broadcast network, Miguel Díaz-Canel told "Meet the Press" moderator Kristen Welker that in Cuba, leaders aren't "elected" by the U.S.
Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel insisted that he’s not “stepping down” in an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker in Havana on Thursday.

Díaz-Canel bristled when Welker asked if he would be “willing to step down to save your country” during his first interview with a U.S. broadcast network.

“In Cuba, the people who are in leadership positions are not elected by the U.S. government, and they don’t have a mandate from the U.S. government. We have a free sovereign state, a free state. We have self-determination and independence, and we are not subjected to the designs of the United States,” Díaz-Canel said.

Well, it does not now appear Cuba will fall soon -- Trump's limited attention now being diverted by Iran.

Probably not immeidately. I'll quote Hemingway, who loved Cuba: "Gradually, then suddenly."

That is just what a transition in Cuba would NOT be. They're too proud of their homegrown version of socialism to give it up all at once.

The regime is. A LOT of the people want it gone yesterday. But they don't matter one bit to you and your cult.

The people are INVOLVED in it at the grassroots level. Cuba's government is based on local councils -- a much more democratic system than ours, if only the Communist Party did not control the elections.

Trump says a ‘New Dawn for Cuba' is coming ‘very soon'
"And very soon, this great strength will also bring about a day 70 years in waiting," he said.

I don't want an imperialist President....do no...I don't imagine it because they wouldn't do it

Cuba is known for socialism and doctors. A socialist doctor meets an American capitalist nurse or business owner. Maybe in some other tropical nation. That's story material.

 

[JohnEngelman]

I know Cubans who escaped that nightmare firsthand. I genuinely care about freedom for those people, and I absolutely refuse to tolerate the risk of a new Russian or Chinese military launch site just 90 miles off our coast.

The Cuban people are suffering from Trump's harassment. I see no reason to believe that the Cuban government is unpopular with the Cuban people.

The Cubans have two institutions we should have: universal health care and government financed university education for those who qualify.

Surely you jest.

No. In two important respects the Cuban economy is superior to our own.

Feel free to go live in Cuba John! Every liberal should have to go live down there for a couple years!

But in the peasant areas, not in the rich tourist sections.

I have been to Cuba and the one thing the Cubans do not want is outside interference, particularly anything which resembles the criminal government of Batista's Mafia chums which the USA supported for years.

Cuba has endured six straight years of recession, and now the Venezuelan oil spigot is effectively shut off. That makes collapse a matter of timing, not speculation. The United States now controls access to Venezuela’s oil market, which raises an obvious question: where exactly is Cuba supposed to get its energy, and what concessions will Havana have to make to persuade Trump to allow any at all?

Trump has systematically pushed both Russia and China out of Venezuela and cut off their privileged access to its oil. The knock-on effects are already visible. Without Venezuelan crude to ship home, China’s strategic rationale for exerting influence over Panama and the canal weakens dramatically. Once that leverage disappears, their presence there is likely to unravel as well.

Good question Chief. I'll bet Marco Rubio is keeping a close eye on it. It would be amazing if we could gain back some influence there.

Diaz-Canel also told Trump he doesnt want to die and will welcome negotiations! Like Trump said, Hes a very smart man! TRUTH

I do not want to move to a dictatorship. I want socialized medicine and free college education in the United States. I also want a more progressive tax system. So do most Americans.

I doubt that many Cubans want to adopt the American system of casino capitalism, where the odds favor the house.

I am sure the Cubans want to be left alone by the United States.

Using foreign wars to distract Americans from the failing Clown Show administration is dumb.

But getting rid of ALL SOCIALIST/ GLOBALIST/ COMMUNIST LEADERS IN THE world is VERY SMART! There I fixed it for ya! It shouldn't be a surprise to you if you would of listened to Trump since he came down the escalator in 2016! 100% TRUTH
