HAVANA, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) — Cuba on Thursday condemned the deployment of U.S. military forces in the Caribbean Sea under the pretext of combating drug trafficking in the region.
“This dangerous step represents a serious threat and an aggressive show of force that undermines the sovereignty and self-determination of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean,” the Cuban Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Havana has rejected Washington's accusations that Venezuela is linked to drug trafficking, calling them an "absurd and baseless pretext" for sending troops to the region.
The Foreign Ministry also noted that the United States is “the largest drug market in the region and possibly in the world,” citing the UN World Drug Report 2025.
“Cuba reaffirms its firm commitment to fighting drug trafficking fairly and effectively, defending national sovereignty and promoting peace and stability in Latin America and the Caribbean,” the department said in a statement.
The United States sent warships and troops to Latin American and Caribbean waters in August to combat drug cartels, U.S. officials said. –0–
