In the lead-up to the #US surgical attack on #Venezuela, Washington repeatedly harped on the theme that the mutual aid agreements between #Cuba and Venezuela were dangerous and nefarious.

Speaking of this relationship, #MiguelDíazCanel said, “Only those who are unaware of the value of friendship, solidarity, and cooperation forged between peoples can mistake the relationship between Cubans and Venezuelans as a mere business transaction or a vulgar exchange of products and services.”

'Cuba: Committed to Peace, Ready to Fight for Its Sovereignty'

On January 16, 2026, hundreds of thousands of Cubans marched and rallied in Havana to pay homage to their countrymen killed during the U.S. assault on Venezuela two weeks earlier. Thirty-two Cuban soldiers died while putting up fierce resistance to U.S. forces that stormed the presidential residence in Caracas and ultimately kidnapped Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. Cuba's president Miguel Díaz-Canel delivered the speech published here to honor the 32 fallen combatants and respond to Washington’s escalating threats against his nation.

#Video - Halliburton Admits US Drove Them Out of Venezuela

https://peertube.wtf/w/gJMoEGDSDvE4dT2cC15Xve

Pres. Trump met with major US oil companies to discuss Venezuela’s oil future. But during the meeting, one executive acknowledged that his company didn’t leave Venezuela because of the Venezuelan government, but due to #US #sanctions imposed by #Trump himself six years ago.
