Rubio designates Cuba security threat; Trump considers military intervention

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has officially designated Cuba a security threat as the Trump administration escalates pressure on the island nation. Bloomberg reports the administration is considering military intervention and has deployed a U.S. aircraft carrier to the Caribbean, while also imposing stricter economic sanctions and exploring an indictment against Raúl Castro—moves similar to those previously pursued against Venezuelan President Maduro.
