U.S. military option for Cuba fades as Trump focuses on sanctions
U.S. attention is now centered on cutting off all revenue sources for the regime rather than any military or special forces operation.
The White House's strategy regarding Cuba is shifting away from military intervention and towards a more aggressive approach of sanctions and economic pressure, according to sources familiar with the administration's plans. Officials emphasize that the focus is now on eliminating all revenue streams for the Cuban regime, rather than executing military or special forces operations akin to the January operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
This shift in focus is intended to create divisions within the Cuban government's ranks and pave the way for negotiations, as the island nation has steadfastly rejected U.S. calls for reform following nearly seven decades of a single-party regime.
