Trump says Cuba is ‘ready to fall’ after capture of Venezuela’s Maduro
President Trump linked Cuba’s decline to the capture of Venezuelan leader Maduro, citing 32 Cuban casualties and a loss of critical support for Havana’s regime.
- Late Sunday aboard Air Force One, President Donald Trump predicted Cuba was ready to fall after U.S. forces captured Nicolás Maduro, calling it a regional turning point.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Cuban operatives guarded Maduro, and Cuba acknowledged 32 military and police personnel were killed, announcing two days of national mourning.
- Months-Long Central Intelligence Agency planning placed assets inside Venezuela and tracked Maduro’s movements, while the National Security Agency and United States Cyber Command supported Delta Force operators who extracted him from Fort Tiuna, Caracas.
- On Monday, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as acting president while China's ambassador Lan Hu, Russian Ambassador Sergey Melik-Bagdasarov, and Iran's Ambassador Ali Chegini publicly congratulated her as ordinary Venezuelan citizens face continuing uncertainty.
- The administration argued Maduro's capture weakens Caracas's support for allies, linking Cuba's fate to the ouster and hoping by 2026 regional governments align economically with the U.S.
