Cuban president denounces 'state terrorism' against Venezuela

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel labels the U.S. military operation in Venezuela as imperialist aggression aiming to control natural resources and impact Cuba’s oil supply and workers.

  • On Jan 3, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel condemned the United States for attacking Venezuela at a Havana rally, saying `Cuba condemns and denounces these actions as an act of state terrorism`.
  • Cuban statements tied the assault to a bid for regional resource control, saying it aimed to gain unrestricted access to Venezuela's natural resources, which supply around 30% of Cuba's oil in exchange for thousands of Cuban medical personnel.
  • Domestic officials highlighted public worry and immediate protective steps as Cuba's health ministry said it was well protected, while thousands of Cubans worry amid Cuba's six-year economic crisis with 15% growth decline.
  • Analysts warn losing Venezuelan oil would devastate Cuba's shaky power grid, and a change in Caracas is widely expected to harm Havana's energy and political ties.
  • Diaz-Canel, who attended Minsk, Belarus, June 26, 2025, has sought allies abroad while Cuba's government largely blames U.S. sanctions and the decades-long trade embargo for its economic troubles.
