US Senator Lindsey Graham Issues Ultimatum to Cuba: "Find a New Place to Live"
In the wake of the US invasion in Venezuela, Republican lawmakers are now threatening to take action against Cuba. Just days after a US military incursion in Venezuela, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has issued a thinly veiled threat to the Cuban government, urging them to "start house-hunting" due to the deteriorating relations between the two countries.
Graham's comments were posted on his social media account and were seen as an escalation of the US hardline stance against the communist regime. The South Carolina senator warned that if Cuba fails to make a deal with the United States, it may face "consequences". In a provocative post, Graham advised the Cuban government to seek guidance from Venezuelan President NicolΓ‘s Maduro on how to navigate the current crisis.
Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump has joined forces with Graham in warning Cuba about potential economic repercussions. Trump issued a statement claiming that Cuba had benefited heavily from oil imports from Venezuela, but now faces an uncertain future without access to these resources.
"This is not going to work for Cuba," Trump said. "They lived on oil and money from Venezuela, BUT NOT ANYMORE! I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE."
The Trump administration has been accused of using economic coercion as a means of exerting pressure on countries in the region. Critics argue that this approach is counterproductive and may escalate tensions further.
Cuba's relations with its neighbors have also become a point of contention for US policymakers. Mexico, Colombia, Greenland, and Cuba have all been mentioned as potential targets for future military campaigns in the hemisphere.
In an interview last week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio refused to rule out the possibility of an invasion of Cuba, citing concerns over the regime's human rights record. "The Cuban government is a huge problem," he said. "I think they're in a lot of trouble."
As tensions between the US and Cuba continue to escalate, many experts are warning that any further action could have severe consequences for regional stability and global security.
