Donald Trump signals potential agreement with Cuba, downplays military intervention

US President Donald Trump has signaled a shift in rhetoric regarding Cuba, stating that he believes the United States and Cuba will reach an agreement and that military intervention will not be necessary. This follows recent comments made at the UN General Assembly, where Trump described Cuba as a ‘failed state’ and predicted its imminent collapse.

Despite the diplomatic pivot, reports indicate that the US Army Reserve has been conducting internal inquiries into the availability of various units—including engineers, military police, and medical brigades—to support the US Southern Command within a 90 to 120-day window. While the inquiries do not explicitly name Cuba, they coincide with heightened US focus on the island.

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez has criticized US sanctions and oil blockades, citing severe humanitarian consequences, including frequent power outages and an economic crisis. Rodríguez maintained that Cuba remains ready for dialogue with the US government and asserted the nation's right to sovereignty.
