Cuba Protests at U.S. Embassy, Warns Against Interference in Venezuela

Thousands of Cubans gathered at the U.S. Embassy in Havana to protest and show defiance following the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro, a key Cuban ally.

President Miguel Diaz-Canel, wearing military garb, addressed the crowd, warning the U.S. against intimidation and imperialism. The protests marked the first direct clash between U.S. and Cuban forces in decades, escalating tensions between the two nations.

The demonstrations signaled a new level of defiance and unity among Cubans, strengthening the government's political position and showcasing public support for defending sovereignty.
