Rubio says US is hopeful 'Cuba will choose a different path'
Rubio said Washington hopes pressure will push Havana to change course as Cuba faces fuel shortages, blackouts and a 60-year embargo.
- On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Cuba that those believing they can "wait out" the administration will "learn the lesson the hard way" if they fail to change course.
- Washington has maintained an embargo on Cuba for more than 60 years, while a US-imposed oil blockade implemented earlier this year has exacerbated fuel shortages and failing infrastructure.
- The administration explicitly seeks to change Cuba's communist government, though Trump predicted over the weekend the two nations would reach an agreement without requiring "military action."
- Addressing the General Assembly on Saturday, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez stated that Cuba remains "open for dialogue" with Washington.
- Rubio also emphasized the need for "free and fair elections" in Venezuela, noting that Washington is working to establish conditions for such democratic processes as soon as possible.
