Part of situation: US-Cuba military and economic pressure intensifies (12 clusters)

U.S. Defense Secretary warns military options for Cuba remain on the table

U.S.-Cuba relations Pete Hegseth economic sanctions military intervention Americas Coalition

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has stated that all options, including military intervention in Cuba, remain on the table as the Trump administration intensifies pressure on the island. Speaking from Panama, Hegseth warned the Cuban government to heed Washington’s strategic prerogatives, asserting that the U.S. will not tolerate ‘malign influence’ from actors like Russia, China, or Iran in the hemisphere.

Simultaneously, the administration is employing unprecedented economic pressure. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez has denounced these measures as a policy of ‘maximum pressure and economic asphyxiation’ designed to provoke social unrest and constitutional change. He specifically cited over $4 billion in fines imposed by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on third-party entities for alleged violations of the Cuban blockade.

Regional shifts are also occurring. In Colombia, the new government under Abelardo de la Espriella has authorized U.S. troops to conduct joint military operations to combat narcoterrorism and will join the Escudo de las Américas coalition. Additionally, the Dominican Republic has ordered nine Cuban diplomats to leave the country, a move seen by some as regional support for U.S. policy.
