Biden is handing America over to China as quickly as he left Afghanistan. A new report states that China has reached a deal with Cuba to pay several billion dollars to build an eavesdropping facility on the island nation.
The Wall Street Journal was the first to report the possibility, if in fact true the base would become the closest foreign adversary military base to the U.S. mainland.

The Pentagon has swiftly denied the alleged deal. Pentagon press secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder called the report “inaccurate.”
“Certainly we know that China and Cuba maintain a relationship of sorts, but when it comes to the specific activities outlined in the press reporting, based on the information we have that is not accurate,” Ryder said at the briefing. “We are not aware of China and Cuba developing any type of spy station.”
Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossío also issued a statement, calling the newspaper’s information “totally mendacious and unfounded.”
However, Republicans, are sounding the alarm about the alleged plans, with some placing blame on Biden’s administration.

Alabama Republican, and House Armed Services Chairman, Mike Rogers said in a statement that reports of the alleged facility follow other surveillance attempts made by China. He added, “We must use every tool available to counter and deter China’s aggression.”
“The Biden administration must take note that China’s military operations are not limited to the Indo-Pacific. China’s military is at our doorstep, in North America, and throughout South America, and we cannot afford to ignore or overlook the threat,” Rogers concluded.
Nikki Haley, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and now 2024 Republican presidential candidate, tweeted her own sentiments over Biden’s handling of the situation.
This month alone, China has harassed & threatened a U.S. fighter jet & naval ship. Now, it’s putting a spy base in Cuba. President Biden is twiddling his thumbs, worrying about China’s green energy policies. Joe Biden needs to wake up to the real Chinese threats on our doorstep.
