US: Trump hints at action against Cuba amid intensifying standoff
In May 2026, the Trump administration escalated pressure on Cuba, including indicting former Cuban President Raul Castro for his role in the 1996 downing of US civilian planes and detaining the sister of an executive at Cuba's military-run GAESA conglomerate. President Donald Trump hinted at potential intervention, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio cited Cuba's ties to China and Russia as a national security threat and noted low chances of a diplomatic solution, amid Cuba's severe economic hardships from US sanctions; China and Russia condemned the US actions.
