Díaz-Canel is kicking up a fuss over the UN, and Cubans are correcting him: "What can we expect from the man of utopia?"

The Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel attempted to respond this Wednesday to the speech by Donald Trump before the UN General Assembly, but his post on social media ended up being the subject of ridicule among Cubans due to a spelling error that did not go unnoticed: he wrote "anaquilamiento" instead of "aniquilamiento."

The Cuban ruler shared the same text on digital platforms such as Facebook and X, where he wrote: "Rarely has there been such disrespect for the UN General Assembly. The organization, founded eight decades ago to prevent new wars through diplomacy, was used as an imperial platform to threaten the annihilation of other nations. #CubaIsNotAThreat, the blockade is."

The message was a reaction to the speech that Trump delivered the day before at the 81st General Assembly, in which he described Cuba as an "absolutely failed state" and predicted that the regime would "fall."

In that same speech, Trump also threatened to "annihilate" Iran if a nuclear deal was not reached, a statement that generated extensive international coverage and which Díaz-Canel seems to have referenced when discussing threats against other nations.

The Cuban delegation at the UN left the room during Trump's speech as a form of protest, without exercising the right to reply.

But what drew attention this Wednesday was not the diplomatic protest, but the spelling mistake made by the leader.

In the comments on his Facebook post, a user got straight to the point: "I don't think 'anaquilamiento' is a word, but what can we expect from the man of utopia haha."

Another replied sarcastically: "It's not that they're threatening you, they're just giving you a heads up, so get out of there already."

A third party took the opportunity to question the legitimacy of the regime: "The concept of sovereignty has several components, and one is: Popular sovereignty: It is the principle where power resides in the citizens, who decide how to govern themselves. Does this exist in Cuba?"

Cuba's formal intervention before the General Assembly was scheduled for September 26, when the regime would have the opportunity to officially respond to Trump before the UN General Assembly.
