As President Donald Trump considers military action against Iran, Senator Lindsey Graham has turned his attention to Cuba, suggesting that its liberation from communism is imminent. Graham's comments come after a meeting where Trump discussed possible strikes on Iran if negotiations falter. He expressed his belief in a 'Cuba Libre' future, emphasizing the urgency of liberating Cuba. Trump's administration has ramped up its stance against Cuba, declaring it a significant threat to U.S. national security and hinting at possible military intervention. The recent indictment of former Cuban leader Raúl Castro for murder over a 1996 incident has further escalated tensions. Graham has previously pointed to the U.S. approach in Venezuela as a successful model, arguing that similar strategies could apply to Cuba. The White House has not commented on Graham's remarks, leaving uncertainty about whether his views reflect a broader strategy within Trump's circle. As the situation develops, the implications for U.S.-Cuba relations remain significant.
