"As we achieve a historic transformation in Venezuela, we're also looking forward to the great change that will soon be coming to Cuba. The island is in its last moments of life as it was. It will have a great new life, but it is in its last moments of life as it is."
"Ending Cuba's communist regime—nearly 70 years after Fidel Castro entered Havana from the Sierra Maestra—has long been a major goal for both Trump and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants raised in Miami's fiercely anti-Castro environment. It is also a fervent aspiration of many Cuban exiles in South Florida and of Republican lawmakers."
Following Nicolas Maduro's capture in Venezuela on January 3, President Trump has intensified rhetoric claiming Cuba's communist regime is imminent collapse. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose family fled Cuba, view overthrowing the 70-year-old Castro-era government as a strategic priority. This objective aligns with Republican interests in South Florida's Cuban exile community. At the Shield of the Americas summit in Miami, Trump announced a 13-nation military coalition against drug trafficking while declaring Cuba faces its final moments. Trump frames regime change as inevitable, demanding Cuban leadership negotiate with the United States to avoid consequences. Currently, Trump prioritizes the Iran conflict but signals Cuba remains on his administration's agenda.
