Trump vows to 'take care of Cuba' after Iran, Rubio urges Cubans to partner with CIA
–
Neutral summary
President Donald Trump told a campaign rally in Fort Myers, Florida, that the United States will "take care of Cuba on our way back from Iran," describing a scenario in which US ships would pass near the Cuban coast, stopping about 50 meters offshore, before Secretary of State Marco Rubio is sent to conclude an agreement. Trump also suggested the US "may do another little Epic Fury" against Iran if Tehran does not agree to terms, without specifying conditions. Last month, Trump predicted the US and Cuba would reach a deal without military action. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a message on X, called on Cubans disappointed with their government to "seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discreet partnership with the CIA." The CIA posted a video on X showing steps to contact the agency. The Cuban government responded with irony, dismissing the threats as "desperation" from the Trump administration. The administration has repeatedly stated its goal of regime change in Cuba and has effectively imposed an embargo on oil shipments to the island. Al Jazeera notes Washington has increased pressure on Havana following the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Sputnik Srbija analysts argue Cuba is "not Brazil, not Venezuela," questioning the viability of such a scenario.
