SOUTHCOM Commander General Francis L. Donovan, the Chief of the General Staff and First Deputy Minister of Cuba's Revolutionary Armed Forces (MINFAR) General Roberto Legra Sotolongo and other Cuban military officials, during their meeting at the perimeter of the US Naval Station in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Senior US and Cuban military officers have met at Guantanamo Bay, the US base on the communist island, as relations between the two countries plunge over President Donald Trump's threatened takeover.

US General Francis Donovan met with Cuban General Roberto Legra Sotolongo "for a brief exchange on operational security matters," US Southern Command said in a statement along a photograph of the meeting.

Reports last week suggested that Havana was considering drone strikes on the base in the event of an American attack.
