        "summary": "US President Donald Trump has indicated that Cuba could be the next target for US action following operations in Venezuela and Iran, making these remarks at a Saudi business conference while jokingly asking the media to ignore them. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel responded by affirming willingness to negotiate various issues with the US but emphasised that Cuba's sovereignty and political system are non-negotiable. The statements come amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, with reports of Iranian military preparations against potential US and Israeli invasion, Saudi lobbying for continued pressure on Iran, and widespread US protests against Trump's leadership and the intensifying war with Iran.",
        "content": "<p>US President Donald Trump, on Friday (27\/3), stated that Cuba could\nbecome a target for US action in the future after Iran. Trump pointed to\nwhat he described as the success of recent US military operations in\nVenezuela and Iran. \u201cI built this great military. I said, you will never\nneed to use it, but sometimes you have to use it. And Cuba is the next\ntarget,\u201d Trump said at the Future Investment Initiative, a Saudi\nbusiness conference. \u201cBut pretend I didn\u2019t say that. Please, pretend I\ndidn\u2019t say it. Please, please, please, media, please ignore that\nstatement,\u201d he added. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel, on Wednesday\n(25\/3), said that although all issues can be discussed in negotiations\nwith the US, the independence of the country can never be questioned.\nSpeaking to Spanish-language media Canal Red in Havana, Diaz-Canel\ndiscussed ongoing contacts with Washington. He said various topics,\nincluding foreign investment, migration flows, drug trade,\ncounter-terrorism, environmental protection, as well as science and\neducation, must be discussed with the US. \u201cWe can discuss everything,\nbut our sovereignty must be respected. Our independence and political\nsystem are never open to discussion,\u201d he said. Iran\u2019s military has\ndeclared full readiness to face a possible ground invasion from the\nUnited States (US) and Israel. The Pentagon is reportedly preparing\nscenarios for ground operations in Iran over the next few weeks. This\ncoincides with the deployment of thousands of US troops to the Middle\nEast region. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to\nstate that Israel is in a superior position in the ongoing conflict\nlasting about one month and assesses that Iran is increasingly\npressured. Saudi Crown Prince MBS is reportedly lobbying Donald Trump to\ncontinue the war and overthrow the Iranian regime amid the heating\nMiddle East conflict in 2026. Prince MBS is said to be urging Donald\nTrump to continue pounding Iran for the stability of the Gulf and the\neconomy. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan called Israel the biggest\nobstacle to peace in the Middle East. Israel is assessed to be utilising\nUS politics for strategic agendas and prolonging instability. Millions\nof US citizens held the third edition of \u2018No Kings\u2019 protests to oppose\nDonald Trump\u2019s authoritarian leadership style and demand an end to the\nincreasingly heated war with Iran. The aircraft carrier USS Gerald R.\nFord docked in Croatia for emergency repairs following a fire incident\nin the Red Sea that injured the crew and damaged internal\nfacilities.<\/p>",
