Guess who's next 'Cuba is a failing nation and we want to help the people,' says tRump [View all]

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio made ominous remarks relating to Cuba, country of his roots and towards which regime he has a deep antipathy. The Trump administration did not say today that it will reprise its action in Venezuela in Cuba, but it didn’t say it would not, either.

Rubio said in response to the topic coming up in the press question and answer session: “I mean, I just gave you a statement a few minutes ago about, you know, when the president speaks you should take him seriously. Suffice it to say, you know, Cuba is a disaster.”

He went on: “It is run by incompetent, senile men and, in some cases, not senile, but incompetent. Nonetheless, it has no economy, it’s in total collapse…all the guards that helped protect [Venezuela’s captured leader] Maduro, their spy agency, they were all full of Cubans. This poor island took over Venezuela..”

“…So, yeah, if I lived in Havana and I was in the government I’d be concerned, at least a little bit.”
