U.S. President Donald Trump has raised the prospect of a “friendly takeover” of Cuba, asserting that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is engaged in high-level negotiations with the Cuban government. Speaking to reporters at the White House on Friday, Trump described the situation in Cuba as dire, noting the island nation’s lack of resources. “They have no money, they have no anything right now,” he stated.
Trump emphasized Rubio’s involvement in discussions about the transition of Cuba’s political status. He characterized the possibility of a cooperative U.S. approach towards Cuba as “very real,” highlighting that ongoing talks could lead to an advantageous arrangement for both nations amidst Cuba’s challenges.
Through new sanctions, Cuba faces increased pressure from U.S.-imposed sanctions, particularly a fuel blockade that has intensified economic woes on the island. Reports also suggest that Rubio has pursued secret negotiations with members of Cuba’s ruling class, specifically relatives of former leader Raúl Castro, bypassing official channels
The recent dialogue regarding U.S. intervention is further complicated by reports of heightened tensions between Cuba and the U.S., illustrated by a recent maritime incident involving a Florida-registered speedboat. The shooting left four individuals dead, including at least one American citizen, prompting an investigation by U.S. officials, including Secretary Rubio, who has publicly condemned the Cuban authorities’ actions.
Curiously, Ice’s newly targeted demographics, Cuban Americans, are voicing their concerns about American intervention, insisting their voices must be central to any discussions regarding Cuba’s future. Given their propensity to demanding regime change, the overall approach seems confusing with the stated intentof the US to denigrate any system of government that alters their local populace worldview.
