President Donald Trump is publicly framing a major U.S. policy shift toward Cuba as a 'new dawn' for the country, hinting at a potential military intervention. In a recent exchange, a reporter asked Trump about reports the Pentagon is preparing for military action in Cuba, asking if Cuba is next. Trump evaded the question, responding, "Well, it depends on what your definition of military action is." This follows recent diplomatic talks between US officials and the Cuban regime in Havana, the first such meeting in a decade.
