Lindsey Graham posted on X that the liberation of Cuba from communism is close at hand, adding “Cuba Libre.” He has supported President Donald Trump’s war with Iran and has suggested shifting attention to Cuba after the Middle East campaign ends. Graham previously appeared on Fox News wearing a “Free Cuba” hat and said liberation was upon them and a matter of time. Trump has escalated tensions with Cuba through sanctions, a tighter oil blockade, and accusations that Havana poses a national security threat. The administration also indicted former Cuban leader Raul Castro in a murder case, which Cuban officials condemned as politically motivated. Trump has increased rhetoric about forcing regime change, including claims the island is ready to fall and discussion of a friendly takeover.

"I believe the liberation of the wonderful people of Cuba from the clutches of communism is close at hand. Cuba Libre. Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) May 22, 2026"

"Graham has been a vocal supporter of the president's war with Iran since it began and has repeatedly suggested in cable news interviews in recent weeks that the Trump administration should turn its attention to Cuba once its campaign in the Middle East ends. In March, the senator appeared on Fox News show Sunday Morning Futures sporting a Free Cuba hat and claimed to host Maria Bartiromo: The liberation of Cuba is upon us. It's just a matter of time."

"Since returning to the White House, Trump has escalated tensions with Cuba, imposing sanctions, tightening an oil blockade, and accusing Havana of posing a national security threat. The administration has also taken the step of indicting former Cuban leader Raul Castro in a murder case, a move Cuban officials have condemned as politically motivated. Trump has also ramped up the rhetoric signaling his desire to force the regime in Havana, recently suggesting the communist-led island nation was ready to fall and in February floating the idea of a friendly takeover."
