Show Notes
Allies of President Trump are signaling a potential shift in U.S. foreign policy, with Cuba as the next focus. Senator Lindsey Graham and Trump himself have expressed interest in toppling the communist government, citing economic woes and the lack of resources. The strategy involves tougher sanctions and offers of talks, aiming to open the market to American businesses in return for reforms. Cubas economy is crumbling without cheap oil from Venezuela, leading to widespread blackouts, factory shutdowns, and food shortages. Cubans are anxious, with more than two million leaving in the past five years. The U.S. is betting that pressure will force change without military action. Critics question the threat level, given Cubas outdated gear and lack of new missile threats. Meanwhile, Senator Rubio is reportedly talking with Raul Castros family, aiming for a smooth shift like in Venezuela. As pressure builds, Cuba faces what could be its tipping point.
