US isn’t looking at imminent military action in Cuba despite Trump threats: AP News

Officials say Washington is pursuing aid, sanctions and talks, while keeping military options open as Cuba weighs conditions tied to political prisoners and reforms.

  • The United States has offered Cuba tens of millions in humanitarian aid and two years of free Starlink internet access, conditional on releasing political prisoners and ending political and religious repression.
  • President Donald Trump signed an executive order last week expanding sanctions authority against Havana, following an energy blockade imposed after the U.S. removed Venezuela's leader, Nicolás Maduro, in January.
  • Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited Vatican City on Thursday to meet Pope Leo XIV, where he criticized Cuba's leadership as 'incompetent,' saying its economic model 'doesn't work' and those in power 'can't fix it.'
  • Cuban Ambassador to the United Nations Ernesto Soberón Guzmán rejected American 'ultimatums' last week, stating that 'no internal affairs of Cuba are on the table' and describing U.S. efforts as a 'blatant insult to human intelligence.'
  • Despite President Trump's repeated threats that 'Cuba is next,' U.S. officials state the administration is not looking at imminent military action against Havana, though warships from the Iran conflict remain available if policy shifts.
