Rubio hints Cuba could be next after Trump takes Maduro out of Venezuela
· The GleanerUS Secretary of State Marco Rubio is hinting that Cuba could be the next target of the Trump administration’s push to restore American dominance in the Western Hemisphere.
Rubio said he would be a bit concerned if he were a Cuban government official following the overnight US military operation in Venezuela that captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.
“If I lived in Havana and I was in the government, I’d be concerned at least a little bit,” said Rubio, who has had a long preoccupation with both Venezuela and Cuba.
The US has had a long history of military interventions in Latin America, including its tacit support for the unsuccessful 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion led by Cuban exiles aimed at toppling Fidel Castro.
