Trump revives Cuba military stopover idea at South Florida rally

President Donald Trump revived his proposal for a U.S. military stopover in Cuba during a South Florida rally, suggesting warships returning from Iran could pause near the island to pressure its government. Trump made the remarks Friday in response to a crowd question, saying a ship would stop 50 yards off Cuba's coast before Secretary of State Marco Rubio "finishes up the deal." Both officials have previously floated intervention, with Trump saying Cuba would be "next" after the Iran war. Rubio later posted that "now is the time" for action, urging Cubans to partner with the CIA. Cuba faces a severe economic crisis marked by blackouts and shortages, while the administration has imposed additional sanctions after unproductive talks with Cuban officials.
