In a public statement delivered to India-based independent YouTube news channel Left Views, Sitaram Yechury, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] — referred to as Baby in the original report — has sounded a global alarm over a rising pattern of geopolitical aggression led by the United States’ combined military-industrial and media establishment during the Donald Trump administration, a threat that he says has hit Cuba particularly hard among all nations. Baby highlighted that the threat to Cuba is not just rhetorical, drawing specific attention to a little-noted past threat made by former President Trump, who publicly stated he would move to take control of Cuba once the US resolved its diplomatic and military standoff with Iran. Beyond direct threats, he added, the Trump administration went to great lengths to manufacture justifications for an illegal military strike on the Caribbean island nation. One key example he cited was Washington’s unfair and misleading rehash of a decades-old incident: accusing former Cuban leader Raul Castro, a central figure in the Cuban Revolution, of wrongdoing for a 1990s action that was entirely a legitimate exercise of Cuban national sovereignty. The CPI(M) chief stressed that no country, particularly a global superpower like the United States, has any legal or moral standing to ignore or breach international law for its own geopolitical gain. Turning to India’s role, Baby called on the Indian government in New Delhi to take urgent diplomatic action in solidarity with Cuba, pointing out the long-standing friendly ties between New Delhi and Havana, as well as Cuba’s membership in the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), a bloc that India has long been a leading member of. To build global pressure against US aggression, Baby called for coordinated collective action across the international community, saying: “We must all organize our firm solidarity with the people, government, and Communist Party of Cuba (PCC).”
