The Barbados-Cuba Friendship Association has called for Caribbean solidarity and regional protests in response to what it described as growing threats by the United States toward Cuba.
In a statement issued Sunday, association president David Denny condemned what he called aggressive actions against Cuba and urged Caribbean citizens to organise demonstrations outside U.S. embassies across the region.
Denny said the Caribbean Movement for Peace and Integration joined the call, stressing that the Caribbean must continue to be recognised as a “zone of peace.”
He also encouraged Barbadians to stand in solidarity with the Cuban people and government amid rising regional tensions.
The comments follow recent statements by Donald Trump, who reportedly claimed the United States would be “taking over” Cuba “almost immediately.”
Miguel Díaz‑Canel responded on Saturday, warning that threats of military aggression against Cuba had reached what he described as a “dangerous and unprecedented level.”
The statement from the Barbados based organisation comes amid wider concern in parts of the Caribbean over increasing geopolitical tensions involving Cuba and the United States.
