Trump Revives Cuba Intervention Idea at Florida Rally, Citing Iran Warships

President Donald Trump told a South Florida rally that U.S. warships returning from the Iran war could stop in Cuba, reviving his proposal for military intervention in the nearby country. Trump made the remarks Friday in response to a crowd question, suggesting a ship would stop 50 yards off Cuba's coast before Secretary of State Marco Rubio "finishes up the deal." He first floated the idea earlier this year and has previously said Cuba would "be next" for intervention. Rubio, a Cuban American hard-liner, separately said Cuba threatens national security and posted that "now is the time" for action, urging partnership with the CIA. Cuba faces an economic crisis with blackouts and shortages, while the U.S. has imposed sanctions amid failed diplomatic talks.
