Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel insisted that he’s not “stepping down” in an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker in Havana on Thursday.
Díaz-Canel bristled when Welker asked if he would be “willing to step down to save your country” during his first interview with a U.S. broadcast network.
“In Cuba, the people who are in leadership positions are not elected by the U.S. government, and they don’t have a mandate from the U.S. government. We have a free sovereign state, a free state. We have self-determination and independence, and we are not subjected to the designs of the United States,” Díaz-Canel said.
The Cuban president’s response comes as the Trump administration has been ratcheting up pressure on the communist country and calling for a change in its government, with President Donald Trump calling Cuba a “failing nation” and saying last month, it may be “a friendly takeover, it may not be a friendly takeover.”
