U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that his administration will address the issue of Cuba once the Iran file is settled. Speaking at a campaign rally in Florida, Trump indicated that Secretary of State Marco Rubio would be tasked with finalizing an agreement. Rubio himself took to social media to urge those seeking change in Cuba to act now, citing corruption and failed governance as catalysts for a discrete partnership with the CIA. Last month, Trump expressed optimism that an agreement could be reached without military intervention. Meanwhile, Cuba continues to face severe economic strain due to U.S. oil sanctions, which have resulted in fuel shortages and ongoing power outages.
