Description:

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel says he will not bow to pressure by the United States to resign.

“Stepping down is not part of our vocabulary,” he said in an interview with US broadcaster NBC News on Thursday.

The president described communist-ruled Cuba as a “free sovereign state” with the right to “self-determination,” adding that the island is not “subject to the designs of the United States”.

“In Cuba, the people who are in leadership positions are not elected by the US government,” he said.
