Rubio Doubts Diplomatic Breakthrough With Cuba
1 day ago
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Trump administration prefers a peaceful agreement with Cuba but admits the chances of a diplomatic breakthrough are “not high.”
The comments come after President Donald Trump again raised the possibility of U.S. military action against Cuba following the indictment of former Cuban leader Raúl Castro.
The administration says Cuba poses a national security concern because of its ties to China, Russia, and other U.S. adversaries.
The escalating rhetoric marks another sharp increase in tensions between Washington and Havana.
