Trump Frames Cuba Intervention as Easier than Iran
Trump said Marco Rubio is heavily involved as the administration war-games a possible Cuba operation and intelligence finds the island has more than 300 drones.
- On Thursday, President Trump told "The Axios Show" that a potential Cuba invasion could resemble the swift capture of Venezuelan President Maduro in January, saying "it's possible."
- Trump aims to project U.S. military power across the Western Hemisphere, though he prefers a peaceful "friendly takeover" of Cuba over direct military conflict.
- U.S. intelligence found Cuba acquired more than 300 military drones discussed for attacks on Guantanamo Bay and Key West, Fla., which could provide a pretext for intervention.
- Contrasting Cuba with Iran, Trump acknowledged Iran has a "more powerful" military and requires an 18 hours flight time, making operations there significantly longer.
- Trump declined to offer a timeline for any Cuba operation, saying it remains "flexible," while noting Secretary of State Marco Rubio is involved in planning.
