00:00Also, the United States President Donald Trump renewed on Friday its threats against Cuba,
00:05warning Washington he'd do what he referred to as a friendly takeover of the island.
00:10The remarks come as the U.S. maintains its fuel blockade on oil exports to Havana.
00:16The measure, described as a pressure tactic to promote regime change and further stifle Cuba's economy,
00:22struggling after decades of U.S. sanctions, continues to be denounced by several social, political,
00:28and humanitarian organizations.
00:30In this context, Trump threatened to take over the nation and assure his administration
00:36is holding talks with the Cuban government, a statement that has been dismissed in the past
00:42by Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel.
00:44Trump's statements, which also happened days after Cuban authorities foiled a terrorist incursion attempt
00:50by a U.S. registered vessel, joined a long list of direct threats and hostile remarks issued against Havana
00:57during terms of second term, evidencing his hard-line foreign policy towards the island.
