US EditionMarco Rubio won't rule out regime change operation in Cuba
- On Wednesday, Sen. Marco Rubio told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee the Trump administration `would love to see the regime there change` but did not commit to forcing that outcome.
- Blaming Cuba's leadership, Rubio argued shortages stem from mismanagement, not the U.S. embargo, and said Havana suffers after Venezuela cut off oil, worsening rural areas of Cuba.
- Criticizing ideology, Rubio said Cuba's system is so altered that `not even Lenin would recognize this version of communism`, and noted Cuban agents staffed Nicolás Maduro's security detail.
- Yet Rubio said the U.S. is not postured to use military force and does not intend military action in Venezuela, backing away from threats requiring an imminent threat the administration does not foresee.
- Rubio predicted improvements in Venezuela as the U.S. is better off than four weeks ago and expects stabilization in three, six, and nine months with interim authorities resuming oil sales.
