China Urges US to Drop Military Threats Against Cuba
International Desk ||
China has called on the United States to stop military threats and unilateral
sanctions against Cuba following reports that the Pentagon is reviewing
possible military options targeting the island nation.Speaking
on Friday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Beijing is
closely monitoring the situation and reiterated its opposition to foreign
interference in Cuba’s internal affairs. She said China would firmly support
Cuba in safeguarding its national sovereignty and work with all parties to
uphold international justice and fairness.The
remarks came after a CBS News report claimed that senior US defence officials
had examined several military contingency plans for Cuba, including a scenario
involving an air assault supported by thousands of troops from the 101st
Airborne Division.According
to the report, the US military held a preliminary meeting in late June to
assess operational plans, troop requirements, logistics and potential risks. However,
US officials stressed that President Donald Trump has neither authorised any
military action nor made a final decision.Meanwhile,
The Associated Press (AP) reported that no immediate military operation is
being prepared. It said military options remain part of contingency planning
and that President Trump could alter his position depending on future
developments.
