Cuba Reiterates Rejection of US Military Deployment in the Caribbean Sea

Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez today emphasized Cuba’s strong rejection of the US military deployment in the Caribbean Sea. A dangerous act that threatens the sovereignty and self-determination of Latin American countries.

Through the social media platform X, the Cuban Foreign Minister stated: “The Government of #Cuba strongly rejects the current deployment of #US military forces in the Caribbean Sea. This dangerous act represents a grave 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 stated in a statement that the concentration of US ships and naval assets near the coast of Venezuela constitutes a direct threat to regional stability. Promoted under “absurd pretexts” and in flagrant contradiction with the spirit of peace defended by Latin American and Caribbean countries.

Furthermore, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX) recalled that this action violates the collective commitment made by the 33 member states of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) when they declared the region a Zone of Peace.

Cuba also categorically rejected the use of irregular migration flows as a justification for the militarization of the Caribbean. In this regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs questioned the presence of nuclear submarines, warships, and a disproportionate military deployment in an area with a tradition of pacifism, considering that it does not constitute an adequate or legitimate response to confront challenges such as organized crime, drug trafficking, or migration.

The Cuban Foreign Ministry’s statement denounces that the United States is the largest drug market in the region and possibly in the world. According to the 2025 Global Drug Report issued by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. This is a well-known fact, and the international community has a duty to denounce it.
