In a rare meeting at the US naval base in Guantanamo Bay, US Southern Command Commander General Francis Donovan and Cuban General Roberto Legra Sotolongo discussed operational security matters. The meeting, which also included discussions on perimeter security and the safety of service members, was described as positive by both delegations. This dialogue occurs against a backdrop of heightened tensions, particularly following President Donald Trump's recent comments suggesting Cuba could be a target for US military action. The US has imposed sanctions and a de facto oil blockade on Cuba, exacerbating the island's economic crisis. In response, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel warned of a potential 'bloodbath' if the US were to attack, asserting Cuba's right to defend itself. Furthermore, reports indicate that Cuba has acquired military drones from allies like Russia and Iran, which it may consider using against US targets. The meeting highlights the delicate balance of military communications amid escalating geopolitical tensions.
