US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth warned Cuba against acquiring weapons capable of threatening American territory during his visit to the Guantánamo Bay naval base.Hegseth cautioned that any attempt to obtain arms capable of striking the mainland would lead to a confrontation that the Cuban government could not withstand.The visit follows intelligence reports alleging that Havana has secured over 300 drones from Russia and Iran since 2023, though Cuban officials have firmly denied these claims.Tensions further escalated as the US recently indicted former leader
Raúl Castro for the 1996 downing of two aircraft during a period of rising diplomatic friction.
