Trump floats U.S. warship stop near Cuba after Iran war

President Donald Trump told a South Florida rally that U.S. warships returning from the Iran war could stop near Cuba, reviving his suggestion of interventionist action against the island nation. Trump made the remarks Friday in response to a shouted question, proposing a ship stop 50 yards off Cuba's coast and sending Secretary of State Marco Rubio to "finish up the deal." He first floated the idea earlier this year and has previously said Cuba would "be next" after Iran. Rubio posted on social media urging Cubans seeking change to partner with the CIA, while both officials have cited Cuba's ties to U.S. adversaries as a security threat. Cuba faces an economic crisis with blackouts, shortages, and migration, and the U.S. has imposed additional sanctions after recent talks.
