US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has refused to rule out further strikes against Cuba, sparking concerns about the escalating tensions in the Caribbean. During a Sunday press conference, Rubio declined to disavow comments made by President Donald Trump, which threatened Latin American countries and hinted at US military involvement in Mexico and Cuba.
Rubio, who is Cuban-American from Miami, expressed his strong opposition to the Cuban government, calling it "a huge problem" and stating that he thinks they are "in a lot of trouble." When pressed directly about whether the Cuban government was the next target of the Trump administration, Rubio replied with a cautious "yes."
Trump has been vocal in his criticism of Cuba, labeling the country a "failing nation" and expressing a desire to help its people. The president's comments have been seen as a veiled threat, with many analysts interpreting them as a warning that the US is willing to take more aggressive action against the island nation.
Rubio echoed Trump's sentiments, describing Cuba as a "disaster" and urging the press to take the president's words seriously. His refusal to rule out further strikes against Cuba has raised concerns among human rights groups and diplomats who are working to resolve the crisis in Venezuela.
The situation remains fluid, with many questioning whether the US will follow through on its threats. One thing is clear: the future of Cuba hangs precariously in the balance, as the world watches with bated breath to see what the Trump administration has in store for the island nation.

I don't get why Rubio is being so vague about Cuba 
. Like, if he's against Cuba, shouldn't he just say it? Is he trying to play diplomat or something? And what's up with Trump's comments, anyway? He's like, "I'm gonna help the Cuban people" but really, it sounds like an excuse for some kind of intervention 
. I mean, don't get me wrong, Cuba has its problems, but can't we just talk about them instead of threatening military action? 
it's like one wrong move and things could get outta hand i mean Rubio is already being super cautious but when you consider trump's track record, it's hard not to worry 
maybe we should just wait and see what happens next? on the other hand, i do think it's awesome that people are finally speaking up about human rights issues in cuba 
but at the same time, who gets to decide what's best for them?
I'm getting a bad vibe about this whole situation... it feels like we're walking on thin ice here 
. And with Rubio on board, I'm worried that things are gonna get a lot worse before they get better 
. What's Trump's endgame? Is this some kind of grand gesture to appease his base, or is he actually willing to take on the international community over this? One thing's for sure: Cuba's future doesn't look bright right now 
.
, this whole situation is getting out of hand! Like, what's next? A US invasion of Mexico too?! Interesting how Rubio's Cuban roots are affecting his stance on the matter... 
... I mean, I get that Rubio's coming from a place of passion and concern, but you have to wonder if he's being too cautious with those comments 
I'm all for supporting Venezuela, but can't we focus on finding some actual solutions to the crisis there instead of threatening another country? The world is watching, and this could get messy fast 
Cuba's already dealing with some major issues, but now they're talking about bombing them? That's not how you fix problems, bro 
I'm not sure what the world is waiting for, but it feels like we're all on the edge of something big 
like what's the end goal here? Is it really that simple to just send in the troops and hope for the best?
shouldn't he be more concerned about the Cuban ppl than some politician's tweetstorm? Also, what's with all these diplomats & human rights groups freaking out - what evidence do they have that Trump is actually gonna bomb Cuba? Shouldn't we wait for actual facts instead of just speculation? 
i mean, Rubio is super clear about his stance but it's still kinda worrying because Trump's comments are pretty vague 
He's got no idea what he's dealing with. And what's with all these "strikes" and "aggressive action"? Is the US even prepared for a war?
