Trump at South Florida rally revives the idea of military intervention in Cuba after Iran
Trump said U.S. warships could stop near Cuba after the Iran conflict, while Marco Rubio urged Cubans to seek change through the CIA.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump told a rally in Fort Myers, Florida, that U.S. warships returning from Iran might stop near Cuba, saying he would send Secretary of State Marco Rubio to 'finish up the deal.'
- Washington has maintained an embargo on Cuba for more than 60 years, while the island's 10 million residents endure blackouts, food shortages, and economic crises under intensifying Trump administration pressure.
- Following the rally, Rubio posted on social media that 'now is the time' for action on Cuba, urging supporters to 'seize this opportunity' through what he called a discrete partnership with the CIA.
- Earlier this week, the United States and Cuba clashed at the United Nations over the decades-long embargo, even as Trump previously predicted the two countries would 'make a deal' without needing military action.
- Trump suggested he may be the first president to intervene in Cuba after decades of predecessors considered it, with the administration stepping up pressure following the seizure of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
