Trump Says US Will 'Deal With Cuba on Way Back From Iran'
U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States will deal with Cuba "on the way back from Iran," while Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Cubans seeking change to cooperate with the CIA. Speaking at a rally in Florida, Trump said he would send Rubio to Cuba to "finish the job." Rubio called on those disappointed with the Cuban government to pursue change through confidential CIA cooperation, saying "now is the time" for those seeking positive change. The Trump administration has intensified pressure on Havana, including an oil blockade that has caused severe fuel shortages and blackouts. Washington has maintained an embargo on Cuba for over 60 years, and Trump previously suggested military force would not be necessary.
