  "account": "Florida - President Donald Trump announced on Friday that the United States would address Cuba's needs following its interactions with Iran. He announced that Secretary of State Marco Rubio would be dispatched to finalize the agreement. Trump stated at a Florida rally, \"We'll take care of Cuba on our way back from Iran... then we're going to send Marco Rubio in to finish up the deal.\" Last month, Trump had predicted that the US and Cuba would come to an agreement, expressing no belief in the necessity of military action. The Trump administration's objective has been to transform Cuba's communist regime. Further, also read: \"We'll put 250% tariffs...\" - Trump reiterates claim of India-Pakistan ceasefire through tariff threat. An oil blockade imposed by the US earlier this year has left Cuba in dire straits due to fuel shortages and power outages caused by deteriorating infrastructure. The US has upheld an embargo against Cuba for over sixty years, and the Trump administration has intensified pressure on Havana after US forces seized Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a lethal raid in January. Cuba's Foreign Minister declared at the UN General Assembly last month that Cuba would always remain open to dialogue with Washington.",
