Cuba does not want them there. They want the US out of Guantanamo and have for a long time.
Basically the US-friendly pre-revolution government gave the US a perpetual lease to the land. After the revolution the Communist government wanted them out but they don’t really have the military power to force them. The US still sends them checks (which they don’t cash) for whatever pittance the old agreement listed so they can claim it’s “legal”. That territory is completely under US oversight, there is no land connection to it.
Don’t blame Cuba. They’re cool, and if you ever get a chance to visit you definitely should. It was very cheap when I went. Cheap flight from Miami and very cheap Airbnb in downtown Old Havana. Beautiful, safe, and full of history and kind people.
