Cuban military is 'prepared' for potential US aggression, deputy foreign minister says

The Cuban deputy foreign minister issued a blunt warning to the U.S. on Sunday: His island’s military is “prepared” for any U.S. aggression as the Trump administration continues to push for regime change in the country.

Speaking to NBC’s Kristen Welker in a sometimes tense interview, Carlos Fernández de Cossío said he doesn’t understand why the U.S. would attack the island — but added, “our military is always prepared. And in fact it is preparing these days for the possibility of military aggression.”

“Our country has historically been ready to mobilize, as a nation as a whole, for military aggression,” Cossío said on "Meet the Press." “We truly always see it as something far from us. We don't believe it is something that is probable. But we would be naive if we do not prepare.”

Cossío’s warning came days after President Donald Trump spoke of “taking” Cuba.

Why would we attack? Because Trump wants a distraction.
