A Cuban woman stated that the people living on the island are not anxious about a possible war with the United States, but rather it is President Donald Trump who is concerned about Cuba because "he is afraid."
The video featuring statements from two Cuban women regarding a potential armed confrontation between the governments of Cuba and the United States was published by Mexican journalist Sasi Alejandre on Instagram.
The two Cuban women appear relaxed in the interview, stating that they are happy and that they are not worried about Trump’s threats of a possible military attack on Cuba.
"I do not feel threatened by him at any moment. I don’t even know who they are talking about because we are so busy, Cuban women are so busy, that at least I don’t even know who he is," the woman states at the beginning of the video.
The journalist asked them how life is maintained in a revolution, and the two women responded, "Well, look, this is a party and celebration all the time. This is living in a revolution," they assured from an activity of the CDR, in the middle of the street.
The most controversial statements soon emerged: "Trump is the one who is worried because he is scared, and we are not." The other woman added, "And he has little time left because he is already older, and we are not."
The interviewee went further and issued a direct challenge to the American president.
"He is going to deactivate us, but we are going to deactivate him too, so he doesn't think otherwise. (...) He is a crazy person who is threatening us, but here in Cuba, there are people crazier than him. Let him come!" said the communist Cuban challenging the U.S.
Escalation of tensions between Washington and Havana
The video is produced at a time of escalating tensions between Washington and Havana. Trump declared on March 27 in Miami Beach: "Cuba is next, but pretend I didn't say that."
A few days later, on April 15, he noted: "We might stop in Cuba after we finish with this business in Iran."
The Trump administration also signed Executive Order 14380 on January 29, 2026, which declared Cuba an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to the national security of the United States and imposed tariffs on countries supplying oil to the island, cutting Cuban crude oil imports and worsening blackouts on the island.
The Cuban regime has responded to Trump's measures with rhetoric similar to that of the interviewed Cuban women.
Miguel Díaz-Canel warned that Cuba would respond with a guerrilla campaign or war of the entire people. The Deputy Foreign Minister Anayansi Rodríguez Camejo stated that Cuba would defend itself to the last breath of every patriotic Cuban.
The Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded with disdain to Díaz-Canel's threats: "I don't think much about what he has to say."
