Cuba says it is prepared if U.S. chooses to sever diplomatic ties

Relations were re-established five years ago this week under former Democratic President Barack Obama following half a century of hostility, a stance that earned the United States lots of goodwill from Latin America, which has been clamoring for such a detente for years.
