US State Department calls Cuba a threat in new report | Unpacking the complicated history

The 100-page report says Cuban agents work through hundreds of groups and rank among the largest foreign influence networks in U.S. history.

  • On Monday, the U.S. State Department released a 100-page report designating Cuba as a major threat through decades of subversive operations tied to U.S. domestic left-wing causes. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio characterized the Cuban regime as the leading sponsor of radical leftism.
  • Until recently, Trump administration officials rarely cited Cuba as a significant threat to the United States, focusing instead on Russia, China, or Iran. President Donald Trump has indicated the nation will be addressed after the Iran conflict concludes.
  • According to the report, Cuba's actions represent ideological revolution against Western civilization rather than response to U.S. interventions including the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion. The report links George Floyd riots, Antifa, and campus activism to alleged Cuban influence.
  • Democratic Socialists of America faces designation as a front group aligned with Cuba, citing members' trips to the island. U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani are supported by the organization.
  • Cuba's decades-long resistance to U.S. pressure raises questions about how the Trump administration might escalate beyond existing sanctions. Orlando Pérez, a political science professor at University of North Texas at Dallas, noted Cuban intelligence remains patient and capable.
