Tap title to read story
Miami — On 27 March 2026 at the FII Priority investment forum, US President Donald Trump declared 'Cuba is next,' repeating the phrase as he defended recent American military actions and dismissed concerns that those operations would erode support from his Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement.
The remark followed a de facto US oil blockade imposed in January and references to a January raid in Venezuela; Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel this week warned of 'unbreakable resistance,' while officials from both sides reportedly continue talks to prevent escalation and assess diplomatic and security options.
