"Trump has flirted rhetorically with the idea of destabilizing Cuba's government, but he has stopped short of proposing a concrete plan like the one that led to Nicolas Maduro's ouster in Venezuela. After the capture of Maduro, in an operation that left 32 Cuban military personnel dead, the United States reduced the number of troops off the Venezuelan Caribbean coast. At the same time, it repositioned the amphibious ships USS Iwo Jima and USS San Antonio in the Atlantic, off the northern coast of Cuba."
"Cuba looks like it's ready to fall, he recently told a group of journalists. I don't know if they're going to hold out, but Cuba now has no income, Trump added. He was referring to the loss of about 30,000 barrels per day of Venezuelan oil not the nearly 100,000 barrels that arrived in Hugo Chavez's years, but still enough to help keep a government afloat that is facing its worst crisis since the Cuban Revolution came to power."
Marc Thiessen posted a provocative message about ending Cuba's long-surviving regime and Donald Trump reposted it on Truth Social. Trump reshared a photo of himself near Old Havana and endorsed a social-media suggestion that Marco Rubio could become Cuba's next president. Trump has rhetorically entertained destabilizing Cuba but has not offered a specific plan like the operation that removed Nicolas Maduro. Following Maduro's capture, 32 Cuban military personnel died, the United States reduced troops off Venezuela, and repositioned amphibious ships near Cuba. Trump said a military operation may be unnecessary and cited Venezuelan oil losses that strain Cuba's finances.
