China has reiterated its call on the US to end the blockade and sanctions against Cuba.
"Beijing urges the US to immediately stop the blockade, sanctions, and all forms of pressure and violence against Cuba," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning, quoted by ANTARA from Anadolu, Monday, March 30.
Mao stressed China "will continue to do whatever it can to provide assistance to Cuba."
The statement came after President Donald Trump said Cuba would be the next military target after Iran.
"Cuba will be next," Trump told reporters on his way to Washington.
Trump's comments come as US and Israeli airstrikes against Iran enter their second month. Air strikes against Iran since late February have killed more than 1,400 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile attacks targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf states hosting US military assets.
At least 13 US soldiers have been killed and hundreds more wounded, in addition to damage to US military assets in the Middle East, in the ongoing conflict.
