Trump Revives Cuba Military Intervention Idea at South Florida Rally

President Donald Trump told a South Florida rally that U.S. warships returning from the Middle East could stop in Cuba, reviving his suggestion of military intervention in the nearby country. Trump made the remarks Friday in response to a shouted question, saying a ship would stop 50 yards off the coast and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio would "finish up the deal." He first floated the idea earlier this year and has previously suggested Cuba would be "next" after the Iran war. Rubio posted on social media that "now is the time" for action on Cuba, urging partnership with the CIA. Cuba faces an economic crisis with blackouts and shortages, while the administration has imposed more sanctions after unproductive talks with Cuban officials.
