The U.S.-based "Hands Off Cuba" committee — which today brings together more than 50 organizations, unions, political groups, and prominent individuals — reaffirmed its solidarity with the island at a time of growing aggressiveness from the Donald Trump administration. Members of the solidarity collective in the Los Angeles area called for halting any plans for action against the Caribbean nation and maintaining visible support for the Cuban people at this critical moment.

"We are coordinating numerous rallies in several cities in defense of the Cuban people," Mark Friedman commented. "It is time to thank Cuba for everything it has done for the world." A separate call to action emphasized that the majority of Americans oppose a U.S. war against Cuba, just as they oppose the current war against Iran. "It is up to us to channel this sentiment, organize it, and give it a voice," the statement stressed.

Over the weekend, the pacifist group CodePink warned that President Trump is recklessly increasing tensions with Cuba and preparing a possible military action against the Caribbean nation. "We must stop this madness," the group said in a message on social media. "Cubans — not Washington politicians, not Miami hardliners — should decide Cuba's future," CodePink asserted.

CodePink rejected the Justice Department's alleged accusations against Cuban leader Raúl Castro "while (Trump) tightens the brutal blockade and prepares for an invasion." The organization urged voters to contact their respective members of the U.S. Congress to vote 'Yes' on War Powers Resolutions to prevent unauthorized military action against Cuba.

This week, Democratic Senator Rubén Gallego of Arizona stated that Republicans would be trying to involve the United States in another war — this time against Cuba. "We are watching Republicans fabricate before our eyes a reason for another regime-change war, this time in Cuba," the lawmaker wrote on his X social media account. Gallego, along with his colleagues Tim Kaine (Virginia) and Adam Schiff (California), introduced a War Powers Resolution to block the use of U.S. Armed Forces in hostilities against Cuba, according to a press release published on the senator's official website.

Trump reiterated during his 2024 election campaign that if he won, he would keep the United States away from war conflicts — even last year he vied for the Nobel Peace Prize. However, since returning to the White House, threats of expansion and interventionism have set the tone for his foreign agenda. In the Caribbean region, the U.S. aircraft carrier Nimitz was deployed, although when asked by reporters a few days ago, Trump indicated that the warship's deployment was not intended to intimidate Cuba.
