Is CUBA Next on Trump's Chopping Block? | Max Boot

Описание: Why is the United States intensely focused on Cuba again — and what’s the Trump administration’s real motive?

In this segment, Max Boot breaks down the administration’s approach to Cuba, questioning whether recent U.S. actions — including what critics describe as a de facto blockade that is deepening Cuba’s economic crisis and risking humanitarian harm — make strategic sense or show a coherent policy at all.

Trump has intensified pressure through sanctions and restrictions, even as he and Marco Rubio have floated ideas ranging from promoting democracy to a “friendly takeover” amidst economic collapse. Meanwhile, Cuba insists the U.S. is waging collective punishment and violating international norms, and foreign governments are pushing back.
