Trump Signals Cuba as Next Military Target in Miami Speech
President Trump told an investment forum in Miami that "Cuba is next" before asking media to disregard the statement, touting US military successes in Venezuela and Iran. The president did not specify planned actions, but his administration has opened negotiations with elements of Cuba's leadership amid the island's severe economic crisis. The remark follows Trump's pattern of signaling military options in Latin America while pursuing parallel diplomatic channels.
